Election week:
Yair Lapid adheres to his new strategy and continues to attack the small parties.
The chairman of Yesh Atid, said this morning (Tuesday): "It is impossible to change government without a large governing party.
It is impossible to form a government without a large party that will form a government. "
He added: "There are still an unusual number of undecided people, more than ten seats. They need to know that if they do not vote for a future, a dark, racist, homophobic and extortionate government will be formed here. In the end it takes a lot of power to change reality. "Religious coercion. In six seats, the Nationality Law is not changed and the Supreme Court is not protected. And most importantly, in six seats, Netanyahu is not replaced."
On the prime minister, he said: "Netanyahu is a hostage of blackmailers and extremists. He must give them immunity, and he will pay. With our money, in the future of our children, in the international relations of the State of Israel. The only government he can form: Litzman, Deri, Smutritz "And Ben Gvir. A government of the murderers' followers Baruch Goldstein who call for the release of the killer Yigal Amir. An extortionate government that will take the money of working people to give it to people who do not work."
When asked by "Israel Today" regarding the commitment to run for the presidency of "Yesh Atid" in 2021, Lapid replied:
As for the "Israel Today" question regarding a quiet agreement with Gideon Saar, Lapid did not deny but also did not confirm: "I try another language and recommend everyone to do so, the ultra-Orthodox should not be taken in the wheelbarrow and even if they are angry with the prime minister, they should not be called junk ".
Meanwhile, the Labor Party is expected to recommend to President Reuven Rivlin Yair Lapid as its candidate to form the next government.
In the party led by Merav Michaeli, Lapid is seen as the leader of the center-left bloc, and it seems that the party's representatives, who will arrive at the president's residence after the Knesset elections, will recommend to him that the chairman has the mandate to form the government.
Merav Michaeli said: "It is no secret that Lapid is the closest to our positions. But it is impossible to ignore the fact that Lapid himself does everything to say that he did not run for prime minister, so in order for the Labor Party's path and values to be reflected in the next change government, "The Labor Party is big and strong. One note to the Labor Party brings two sure results. Both Netanyahu and Merav Michaeli will be replaced in the government."
