Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats Party, expressed significant optimism regarding the upcoming elections, stating his belief that his party can form a coalition government. He also indicated support for including Mansour Abbas's party in the next government, emphasizing that a Jewish-Arab partnership is feasible. Golan projected that his party would secure enough seats to form a majority coalition, potentially exceeding 61 mandates even without the support of the Joint List. He stated that the election results would be known on the 27th of the month at 10 PM.
When questioned about forming a coalition with the Joint List, Golan firmly rejected the idea, declaring he would not "dance to Netanyahu's tune." He stressed the importance of discussing the failures of the current government, including the events of October 7th, the perceived governmental "coup," the handling of hostages, delays in rehabilitating the north and the Gaza envelope communities, and the government's approach to Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Golan asserted that his party would establish a "winning coalition" to rectify the state of Israel.
Addressing current polls that suggest the "change bloc" may struggle to achieve a majority in the next Knesset, Golan highlighted that increasing voter turnout is key to victory. He urged the public, including all family members and young adults, to vote, stating that high participation rates, which are not always reflected in polls, will determine the election's outcome.
