Opposition leader Yair Lapid stated on Monday that he would not cooperate with the formation of a unity government that includes Benjamin Netanyahu. Lapid's remarks came in response to comments made by President Isaac Herzog, who pledged to do "everything" to prevent another election.
"I very much hope that President Herzog will not try to push for another fake 'unity' government where Netanyahu will again deceive his partners," Lapid said. He urged other parties in his bloc to publicly declare they would not join such a government.
Earlier, President Herzog told the Ynet conference that he was working to establish a stable government and would "do everything" to avoid repeat elections, citing immense national challenges. When asked about potentially promoting a unity government if elections result in no clear winner, Herzog declined to speculate so close to the election, noting differing views on government composition but emphasizing his own approach.
