Member of Knesset Boaz Bismuth has criticized the opposition, asserting that their sole objective is to remove Prime Minister Netanyahu from power, regardless of who leads the opposition. He claimed that the opposition cycles through different figures, stating, "Sometimes it's Lapid, sometimes it's Bennett, this time it's Izankot, and tomorrow it could be the toaster in my kitchen. It doesn't matter who, the main thing for them is to bring down Netanyahu."
Bismuth defended the recently advanced conscription law, emphasizing his belief that "the policy of rounds is behind us, we need to finish the job." He argued that the upcoming elections are crucial due to regional and global changes, framing the choice as "either right-wing or Palestine." He also attacked Yair Golan and the possibility of a government relying on Arab parties.
Regarding the conscription law, Bismuth stated that changes must be gradual and consensual to avoid internal conflict. He highlighted the importance of military service, calling the enlistment of his own daughters a "peak moment in my life," and expressed confidence that this value would extend to the Haredi community. He also addressed potential renewed conflict with Iran, stating that "we need to finish the job" and that Netanyahu is needed to continue this work.
As Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Bismuth claimed significant achievements against Iran's influence, stating, "The achievements are tremendous. We crushed the Iranian axis, put an end to the nuclear threat, though it's not over yet, and changed Hamas and Hezbollah." He declared an end to the policy of limited rounds of conflict, advocating for decisive action, a sentiment he believes the Prime Minister shares.
Addressing the possibility of new elections, Bismuth expressed his view that they are unnecessary and that there is "no reason in the world" for his side not to win, citing a perceived disconnect between polls and public sentiment. He attributed political instability to recent boycotts, questioning who is boycotting whom and who is inciting street protests since 2019.
