Minister Amichai Eliyahu of the Otzma Yehudit party has stated that he believes new elections are inevitable, warning that attempts to form a unity government would undermine the right-wing's core objectives. In an interview on Army Radio on Tuesday, Eliyahu argued that forming such a government would mean preserving a "problematic judicial system." He also addressed efforts by the "Change Bloc" and various coalition scenarios, emphasizing that he would prefer to go to the polls rather than make what he considers unacceptable political compromises.
Eliyahu unequivocally declared, "With God's help, we will go to elections." He added, "A government with supporters of terrorism will not be established," indicating a red line against any coalition that includes parties he deems to support terrorism. The minister's remarks signal a strong opposition within his party to broader coalition agreements that might dilute the right-wing agenda.
