Anchor Calls for Unity Government Under Netanyahu

i24 anchor Eliraz Sade commented on Wednesday that with 50% of votes counted, it's becoming clear no bloc can form a government. He stated that Netanyahu "went for double, one X of his. An X came out, he won." Sade argued that no one would sit with Arab parties after October 7th, and that Izencoat would fade in future elections, similar to Gantz. He suggested Netanyahu can only be defeated from the right and will not voluntarily leave office. Sade proposed the "only solution" is to break election promises and form a "recruitment government" under Netanyahu, with Izencoat as Defense Minister, to start working instead of trying to dismantle each other. He predicted lower voter turnout in future elections due to disappointment and warned that more elections are dangerous for Israel. Sade also claimed that Arab citizens of Israel "came out of the closet" and voted for Hajirat, whom he described as calling Hamas a "charity organization." He concluded that if sanctions are to be imposed for draft evasion by Haredim, then sanctions should also be imposed on Arab citizens of Israel. Separately, Hagai Luber expressed distress, saying "I and Izencoat cried together." Sade is calling for Izencoat and Netanyahu to work towards forming a unity government.
