Abir Kara, a former member of Naftali Bennett's Yamina party, has called for the formation of a national unity government led by Benjamin Netanyahu. Kara urged against establishing a minority government that would rely on the support of Arab parties, advocating instead for a "national partnership government."
In a statement, Kara emphasized the need for Israelis to focus on shared challenges and common ground rather than divisive political debates. He highlighted numerous areas where consensus is possible, including advancing the Abraham Accords with Saudi Arabia, improving education and the economy, ensuring equitable burden-sharing, addressing the cost of living, reforming the justice system, and enhancing internal security and economic growth.
Kara described the current moment as a "historic opportunity" to break political blocs and build bridges within Israeli society, stressing that agreement on all issues is not necessary to begin working together. He invoked the concept of mutual responsibility and unconditional love as the "secret weapon" that has sustained the Jewish people, drawing parallels to the unity displayed during recent crises.
He warned that any attempt to form a weak or hybrid government would only deepen societal divisions and paralysis, potentially leading to further disaster. Conversely, Kara expressed optimism that a national partnership government could usher in four years of prosperity for Israel.
