Opposition leader Yair Lapid stated on Tuesday that the preliminary election results indicate a significant defeat for Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc, despite the Likud emerging as the largest party without a clear path to forming a government. Lapid asserted that the public has decisively rejected Netanyahu's bloc, urging them "to go home." He characterized the outcome as a "complete collapse."
Lapid's remarks align with the strategy of the "change bloc" leaders, who emphasize the overall majority for their bloc rather than individual party strength. Earlier, Yair Golan, Chairman of the Democrats, declared that the public had spoken by "firing the Netanyahu government" and presented a "historic opportunity" to establish a true change government in Israel.
Golan vowed that his bloc would do "everything to ensure such a government is established," expressing readiness to work with all partners, bridge differences, and assume responsibility. He reiterated that the public had made its voice heard and it was now their turn to act.
