Political commentator Amit Segal on Tuesday criticized the "change bloc" of parties following their meeting to discuss forming a new government. He also revealed that Yair Golan was in the minority regarding forming a government that included Arab parties. Segal particularly mocked the bloc's shift in rhetoric towards the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties, highlighting past criticisms of them as "parasites," "draft dodgers," "destroyers of the state," and "non-Zionists" by bloc members, while the bloc now agrees not to rule out contacts with them. The bloc issued a statement after their meeting, asserting that the party leaders are coordinated and will act immediately to replace the current government with a national emergency government, utilizing their clear parliamentary majority. Negotiation teams will immediately begin formulating the foundational principles and agreements for the 38th government, with leaders agreeing to maintain close coordination until the new government is sworn in. Discussions about relying on Ra'am or the Haredi parties continue, with the bloc still speaking of a "Zionist government."
