Yair Golan, chairman of the Democratic Party of Israel, has called for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign, asserting that Netanyahu poses a diplomatic and security threat to Israel. Golan made these remarks during a meeting with student voters at Tel Aviv University. He emphasized that four opposition parties led by Jewish figures are united in their goal to replace the current government.
Golan also expressed openness to cooperating with Arab parties, provided they support Israel as the national home of the Jewish people and a democratic state, citing Mansour Abbas, chairman of the Ra'am party, as an example. He suggested that attention should be focused on the ultra-Orthodox parties supporting Netanyahu rather than on potential Arab party involvement.
Regarding potential coalition formations excluding National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Golan stated there are no significant differences between the Likud party and Otzma Yehudit. He believes the government has integrated Kahaneism into the political system.
Furthermore, Golan commented on the Palestinian Authority, acknowledging disagreements with some of its positions but stating it contributes positively to security. He views its presence in Judea and Samaria as preferable to Hamas rule, as the PA apprehends Hamas militants.
