Speaking to party activists at their headquarters in Modi'in, Ben-Gvir stated, "We are recording another chapter tonight in the development of Otzma Yehudit."
Ben-Gvir expressed concern over potential political scenarios, saying, "Unfortunately, I hear some are already talking about a unity government with Gadi Eisenkot (leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party!). This is the same scenario I warned about, and our friends in the Likud party were keen to deny, saying 'this is not true.' And here we are, just two minutes after the polls were released, hearing voices talk about a unity government."
