Yair Golan, Chairman of the Democrats party, declared on election night that the Israeli public had "fired" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party. Speaking at a celebratory event following the Knesset elections, Golan stated that the mandate received from the public is an "operational order" to rebuild the country, urging coalition partners to act decisively without political maneuvering.
The Democrats celebrated the victory of the "change bloc" and the defeat of the "destruction government," as preliminary results indicated. Golan thanked the voters and party activists, asserting that the "change bloc" had won and that Netanyahu and Likud were dismissed. He stressed the urgency of forming a new government, framing it as a national security imperative.
Golan criticized the outgoing government for alleged administrative failures, societal division, and the weakening of state institutions, particularly in the aftermath of the October 7th attacks. He stated that the Israeli public voted for change, hope, and the salvation of Israel, seeking responsible leadership, a functioning state, and a fair distribution of national burden.
He warned that every day Netanyahu remains in power increases the existential threat to Israel and that the responsibility lies with the "change bloc" leaders to prevent Netanyahu from leading the country into war for political reasons. Golan emphasized that forming a new government quickly is crucial to ensure leadership making decisions solely based on security considerations.
Golan called on his fellow leaders of the "change bloc" to translate the public's trust into action, fortify democracy, and save Israel. He explicitly named Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich, Aryeh Deri, and Yitzhak Goldknopf as having "ended their harmful and terrible tenure" and warned against giving them a "lifeline" or succumbing to political temptations. He insisted on swiftly swearing in a new Knesset and forming a new government, stating that any delay under Netanyahu's leadership increases the danger to Israel.
