In a week from today, Israeli citizens will go to the polls and elect their representatives to the 24th Knesset, and against the background of the upcoming Election Day, we spoke this morning (Tuesday) in "Bardugo on the Morning", the podcast of "Israel Today", with the right-wing party chairman .
Naftali, instead of uniting against the left, you are fighting with each other on the right. Why?
Eventually it all comes down to the question of whether we will form a right-wing government that will immediately approve the right-wing Singapore plan.
We will not enter a government that will not approve the plan nor will we build one that will not support it, that is our condition.
The start-up of the Israeli economy and the reduction of taxes is a very important thing for the country.
For you, is the Singapore plan a priority over the formation of a right-wing government, legal governance and the application of sovereignty?
We will go to the right-wing government, there is no contradiction between that and an economic plan.
I am very disappointed that Gideon Saar and Netanyahu are just talking about more and more expenses and irresponsible distribution of funds.
It's all talk in the air.
In economics a lot of courage is required.
Netanyahu also says he will not raise taxes and talks about economic growth. It is impossible to bring Singapore to Israel.
Netanyahu had 12 years to deal with it.
We are different from Singapore, but also similar in many areas and understandable.
It is not only Singapore, but also Ireland and New Zealand, countries whose leaders have bravely decided to freeze standards and lower taxes.
Investors pour money into countries, only when leaders make moves, as we demand in the Singapore program, with a lot of courage.
In my plan, unemployment will fall and the demand for work will increase.
"Netanyahu is the one who always calls the left first"
Will you only be in a right-wing government?
I know one thing.
I came to work.
I will act as a responsible adult after these elections, taking everyone off their scales to form a stable government.
I will emphasize this again so that it is clear, a right-wing party will not be part of a government and will not form a government that will not support the Singapore plan, because without this plan, the country will deteriorate greatly.
Will your government be based on Lieberman, who has long since ceased to be part of the right, and what about the torch? Is this your right-wing government?
Netanyahu is the one who always calls the left first.
To Ehud Barak, Tzipi Livni, etc.
I will do the exact opposite - my first calls will be to right-wing parties and I hope together we will form a government.
With 13 seats, will you call Netanyahu to join you, when he has two and a half times more seats than you?
I look at the day after.
It is impossible to continue these games.
The story is not the corona but the lack of management.
What do you think of Bnei Gantz's statement this morning?
Netanyahu's hatred drives people crazy.
I do not hate him, but want to replace him.
The statement of Bnei Gantz this morning and the statements of Avigdor Lieberman are terrible.
This is the Prime Minister and he should be respected by virtue of his position, even if we want to replace him we must give him the respect he deserves.
"Is there a legitimacy for a ruling party with 12 seats?"
This morning we also spoke with the editor of the opinion section of "Israel Today", Dr. Eitan Orkibi, regarding his article published on the website and in the newspaper "Israel Today" - "Not the same league, but smells like a derby" about the struggle between Benjamin Netanyahu and Naftali Bennett.
Today in the newspaper Israel Today, your article was published that is gifted and interesting about Derby on the right. The left has basically brought no ideology, so the struggles are on the right. Do you think this brawl could prevent a right-wing government?
No.
exactly the opposite.
What I meant to say is that the possibilities of the right are now very wide.
I presented the fact that dialogue is within the right, and it plays more in favor of the right than if it were happening on the left.
There is the flag led by Gideon Saar, who tried to dismantle the right, and hoped to take advantage of his momentum on the voices of the left, who in turn hoped that through him they would succeed in being redeemed from Netanyahu.
Bennett was in that position before Saar entered the game.
The votes of the left were parked in the right-wing party, but Bennett recovered and realized that the heat he received from the left was temporary.
Did Bennett realize that the heat he received from the left was not real?
Naftali Bennett is trying to build his status as Netanyahu's successor within the right.
He understands that it is more successful for him when he comes through the right and not through the left.
The left is failing and each time it puts new agents against Netanyahu
I do not know, I am not a prophet and one hundred percent sure that Bennett will not be tempted to go with the left to be prime minister.
He needs to understand that he needs to continue the momentum he currently has on the right and build himself through this place.
If Bennett goes with the left it is political suicide.
The right will not forgive him for that.
An important issue to talk about is: What is the legitimacy of a prime minister with 12 seats?
We see that within the right there is no sweeping support for a large party that will go against Netanyahu.
We need to ask ourselves what is the legitimacy and what is the level of morality of a move to replace Netanyahu by force with a ruling party of 12 seats.
