- Former minister predicts left's strategy if no 61 seats.
- Left would seek to topple minority government, Ramon says.
- Knesset control and inquiry commission are key tactics.
- New elections possible if government expansion fails.
- Rival suggests Ramon's analysis aids the right.
Former minister Chaim Ramon commented on the upcoming elections, predicting the left's actions if they fail to secure a 61-seat majority. Ramon stated that if a minority government is formed, the opposition would initially support its establishment but would then seek to bring it down. He asserted that the first step would be to establish a state commission of inquiry and seize control of the Knesset. Following this, efforts would be made to expand the government, and if unsuccessful, new elections would be called.
Yotam Zimri interjected, suggesting Ramon's analysis served as effective propaganda for the right. Zimri argued that while the right requires over 60 seats, the left can dominate the Knesset even with 52 to 56 seats. Ramon confirmed Zimri's understanding of his statement.
