Shaul Meredor launched a sharp critique against Yaron Zelekha, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Yonatan Urich in an interview with 103FM. Meredor called for Zelekha to resign, stating that his party "endangers the change" and that votes for him would be wasted, potentially strengthening the opposing side, drawing a parallel to the fate of the Meretz party in 2022. Meredor urged listeners to vote for the "four parties of the bloc" and emphasized that "Yishai must be the biggest and strongest party."
Meredor also criticized Netanyahu's handling of draft evaders, stating that the Prime Minister "forgot he is managing a law-abiding country, perhaps he is used to himself." He argued that those who evade military service should be in jail, not above the law, and called Netanyahu's remarks on the matter a "great shame." Meredor highlighted the sacrifice of soldiers, saying, "Our children risk their lives, and they are injured in body and soul," contrasting this with the treatment of draft evaders.
Furthermore, Meredor addressed the issue of government spending, proposing to "transfer money from evaders to those who serve." He noted that a new government would likely be formed at the end of a budget year, making this a pressing task. Meredor claimed that over 30 billion shekels are allocated to draft evaders, money he believes could be redirected to those serving in the military. He accused Netanyahu of prioritizing "his coalition and political partners over the people of Israel."
Meredor also questioned the timing of warnings about tax increases, asking, "Where were all these professionals?" He also made a pointed remark about Yonatan Urich, suggesting that if Urich does not distance himself from "such a despicable person," it implies Urich knows "things about Netanyahu."
