Referring to the fact that the Labor Party is led by a government that also appeals to the right, Michaeli said that "I never hid that I did not enter the government in leaps and bounds, because I knew there was a very very significant right-wing half here that we would have to deal with. "That the Netanyahu government will continue, with everything we see today? They constantly remind us from the opposition what they did and I inside the ministry constantly see the damage, the consequences of things they do not see, so the alternative is better."

As for the existence of the rotation between Lapid and Bennett, Michaeli said that she is "completely" committed to its implementation. "I have signed agreements that it will be implemented and I have no intention of not complying with my agreements."

Your partners on the right, especially on the right, are angry about the Saturday public transportation program you are promoting, which does not appear in the coalition agreements.

It appears in coalition agreements with There Future. I said - everything will be promoted by consent. This is my commitment, this is what I expect from the right side towards me and this is what I do towards them.

You noticed that to this day we have managed to avoid working in the veto. We were able to reach solutions and agreements that made it possible to move things that were difficult to this or that side. The same thing is done with public transportation on Saturday. It is clear to me that everyone understands that it is impossible to continue with the fact that there is no public transportation on Saturday. By the way, one of the reasons for the traffic jams is the fact that there is no public transportation on Saturday. Each one must have a car if she wants to get somewhere on Saturday.

By the end of your tenure / term, do you promise that there will be fewer traffic jams?

Can you commit to such a thing?

There are things under my control and there are those that are not, and a distinction needs to be made.

No.

I promise you there will be many more alternatives, there will be many more public transportation, there will be many more options for each and every one of us to give up the private vehicle.

Now it also depends on the public to start and do it, but we will give them all the tools to do so.
