Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, released a video on Wednesday criticizing President Yitzhak Herzog. Golan's remarks were prompted by reports that Herzog is working to form a unity government between the two parties expected to receive the most votes in the upcoming elections, led by Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot.
Golan addressed the public in the video, warning of a "clear and immediate danger." He stated that even before the votes are cast, "Buji and the trumpets are already preparing the ground for 'unity' with Netanyahu." He characterized this as an attempt to discourage voters by convincing them that the situation is hopeless and that Netanyahu's return to power is inevitable. "I tell you: this is a lie," Golan asserted.
He further argued that proponents of a unity government with Netanyahu are urging the public to forget the failures of October 7, the responsibility for the "terrible failure in the country's history," the abandonment of hostages, and the funding of mass draft-dodging during wartime. Golan also accused Netanyahu of looting public funds, crushing democracy, inciting division, lying, and tearing the nation apart. He warned against giving Netanyahu another four years, which he believes would lead to further destruction, corruption, and endanger Israel's future as a Jewish and democratic state.
