Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party and a Member of Knesset, expressed optimism on Friday regarding the formation of a "change government" following recent election results. Writing on the social media platform X, Golan stated he is more hopeful than he was on Wednesday morning, citing "real progress" and a "seriousness of purpose" in the ongoing efforts to establish a new government. He acknowledged the existence of difficulties but emphasized that substantial headway is being made.

Golan revealed that negotiation teams from the Democrats and the Yisrael Beiteinu party, which is leading the coalition talks, have met multiple times this week. He described the work as serious, responsible, and determined, aimed at accelerating the government's formation. The Democrats are also pursuing other avenues, including increasing public and political pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu and his allies, asserting that a majority exists to replace the current government, and working with partners in the "change bloc" to expedite the process. Golan indicated readiness to take control of the Knesset by Tuesday.
