Protest leader Professor Shikma Bressler issued a strong statement on Sunday, unequivocally rejecting any compromise or alliance with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Her declaration comes amid political turmoil and reports suggesting the possibility of a unity government.
Bressler stated firmly on her X account, formerly Twitter, "There is no unity with someone who is trying to assassinate the election results." Her comments were made in the context of ongoing investigations into "Ra'amgate," which involve suspicions of hundreds of thousands of shekels transferred in cash to a Knesset member from the Joint List.
These events have prompted figures on the right and within Netanyahu's circle to call for a review, and even disqualification, of the election results. Bressler and other opposition leaders view these attempts to question the validity of the elections and undermine the legitimacy of the 67-seat bloc as crossing a red line, making any joint government participation impossible.
