Despite reported difficulties in coalition talks among the "change bloc" parties, Yaya Fink, a designated Member of Knesset from the "Democrats" party, expressed deep optimism about the success of the coalition-building efforts and the timeline for swearing in the new government. Fink indicated support for including Yoav Segalovich and Ra'am Chairman Mansour Abbas in the government, stating, "Abbas and Segalovich will be excellent partners in managing the country." He believes the path to the government's swearing-in is shorter than currently perceived, despite parliamentary challenges and debates over the Knesset speaker and bloc faction support. Fink conveyed confidence in reaching the necessary agreements among the bloc's factions.
Fink's remarks come amid opposition from Minister Amihai Eliyahu of the Otzma Yehudit party. Eliyahu strongly attacked any scenario involving a unity government or one reliant on Arab parties, stating his party would prefer new elections over such arrangements. "Unity means preserving a problematic judicial system. With God's help, we will go to elections, a government with supporters of terrorism will not be established," Eliyahu declared.
