Yair Golan, leader of the Democrats party, sharply criticized President Isaac Herzog on Wednesday, October 14. Golan's remarks were prompted by a Ynet report detailing the president's alleged plan to promote a national unity government if upcoming elections do not yield a clear victor. "Even before the people have voted, before the voters have had their say, Buji (Isaac Herzog) and the propagandists are already paving the way for unity with Netanyahu," Golan stated. He continued, "This is how it begins. They are trying to bring you to despair. To convince you that all is lost. That Netanyahu will remain in power regardless. That there is no point in fighting. This is a lie. Victory is possible. We can change this government. And we will."
Golan further elaborated on his position, asserting that proponents of a unity government with Netanyahu are essentially asking the public to forget the failures leading up to and during the October 7th attacks. He specifically cited responsibility for the "worst failure in the country's history," abandoning hostages, funding draft evasion during wartime, alleged embezzlement, destruction of democracy, incitement, lies, and division of the nation. Golan warned that another four years under such leadership would endanger Israel's future as a Jewish and democratic state.
