Tensions flared within the "Change Bloc" political alliance during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech in the 26th Knesset plenum. Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party and a Member of Knesset, walked out of the hall as Netanyahu began speaking. Concurrently, his party colleague, MK Gilad Kariv, publicly criticized other leaders of the Change Bloc for remaining seated in the plenum instead of joining the protest. Kariv questioned why the bloc's leaders were listening to the speech, especially since Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the National Unity party, was denied the right to a response speech. Kariv urged his colleagues to abandon what he called "feigned stateliness" and adopt a more assertive stance against the Prime Minister. He demanded that the Change Bloc leaders respect their constituents by turning their backs on Netanyahu and leaving the hall.
