Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has strongly criticized calls within the "change bloc" for the establishment of a minority government. He warned that such a move would directly benefit Benjamin Netanyahu, stating that anyone advocating for a minority government is essentially paving the way for Netanyahu to return as prime minister within six months for a full four-year term with at least 70 Knesset seats. Lieberman argued that supporting a minority government would be a gift to Netanyahu. He drew parallels to the previous "change government," which lasted just over a year, and cautioned that a minority government relying on the abstention of Arab parties would fail even faster.
