During a special election broadcast on Tuesday, News 14 anchor Boaz Golan called on Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, to rejoin the right-wing bloc. Golan's remarks came amid projections from exit polls suggesting a significant reduction in Yisrael Beiteinu's mandate numbers. "If Lieberman gets four to five mandates, this man needs to understand, you cannot sell right-wing and sit with the left," Golan stated emphatically. He directly addressed Lieberman, urging him to "join the bloc again and let it work." Golan argued that Lieberman's political influence is diminishing with each election, stating, "From election to election, Lieberman is disappearing. If these are the numbers, maybe this is a wake-up call for him: join."
Fellow anchor Magi Tabbibi questioned the feasibility of such a move, asking if Lieberman would join a Netanyahu-led coalition after years of absolute opposition. Golan responded that a veteran politician facing political obsolescence should consider returning to his roots. "A person who has been in Israeli politics for decades and understands that in the next election he will no longer be there, because he is erased time after time, needs to go home," Golan explained.
