Opposition leader Yair Lapid stated that comments made by Shin Bet chief David Zini and the results of the US elections have eliminated any possibility of a unity government led by Benjamin Netanyahu. Lapid, who is the second-highest-ranking official in the "Together" party, argued that Israel cannot afford to have Netanyahu remain Prime Minister, citing risks to national security, democracy, and the country's international standing.
According to Lapid, the combined impact of Zini's remarks and the US election outcomes has created a situation where a broad coalition government under Netanyahu's leadership is no longer feasible. He expressed strong concerns about the potential consequences of Netanyahu continuing in office, suggesting it would be detrimental to Israel's security and democratic principles, and would lead to significant global isolation.
