Yisrael Beiteinu party chairman Avigdor Lieberman stated ahead of the upcoming mandate to form a government next week that "we must prevent a third "House of Destruction." The election results require all of us to recalculate our path." He added that the "change government" lasted just over a year, followed by Benjamin Netanyahu with 64 mandates for four years. Lieberman emphasized that "national responsibility requires us to make difficult decisions and be prepared for painful compromises." He strongly opposes forming a government that relies on the abstention of the Joint List and Ra'am. However, he indicated a willingness to be flexible and compromise on all other issues, explicitly including the draft law concerning Haredi enlistment.
