Member of Knesset Gilad Kariv declared that the public had sent Prime Minister Netanyahu home, asserting that Netanyahu's bloc had collapsed from 68 seats to 50. He emphasized that the result was undeniable, highlighting a million-voter difference between those who support Netanyahu and those who voted his government out.
MK Naama Lazimi called for political courage, stating that the public had fired Netanyahu and that the "change bloc" would form the next government, with her party serving as its compass.
Yaya Fink added that within two weeks, it would be possible to replace Ohana, Yur Bismut, and the Chairman of the Finance Committee, and to legislate a state commission of inquiry. He stressed that they would not wait for a government to be formed before establishing a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th events, stating, "We were saved from a full-scale governmental revolution by your sweat."
A senior party official noted that the Democrats were the only Zionist party to partner with the Arab community to oust the outgoing government, a message Golan would reiterate. The official urged other bloc leaders to read the reality, stating that Netanyahu would be removed first, then a government formed, and cautioned against succumbing to the rival's divisive narrative.
