Political commentator Amit Segal of Channel 12 News has dismissed all proposed scenarios for the opposition to form a government following the 2026 elections, stating they are unrealistic. Segal referenced a statement by Avigdor Lieberman regarding a "minority Arab government," which Segal described as "born dead," asserting it had no chance of securing 48 mandates with Ra'am and the Joint List. Segal also criticized alternative ideas within the "change bloc" for potential cooperation with ultra-Orthodox parties. He highlighted a "fantasy" of the change bloc forming a 48-mandate government with Shas and United Torah Judaism to reach 61 seats, calling it implausible. Segal concluded by reiterating his initial assessment that the only realistic options are either a unity government or new elections, urging listeners to "wake up" from their "fantasies."
