Gila Gamliel, Israel's Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, expressed her belief that the Likud party will not end up in the opposition and that a unity government is the most likely outcome following the Knesset's swearing-in. In an interview with Arutz 7, Gamliel stated, "I don't see us being in the opposition. I don't see the establishment of any government other than a unity government at this time." She supported Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's call for a broad government, suggesting that the difficulty each bloc faces in forming a government independently creates an opportunity for cooperation.
Gamliel acknowledged that some individuals oppose such a move but asserted that she believes the majority of the public desires unity. She anticipates that parties will ultimately find a way to form a joint government. When questioned about the possibility of a rotation in the prime minister's seat within a unity government, Gamliel focused on the pressing challenges facing the nation, emphasizing that the core issue is how the government will address these challenges.
Furthermore, Gamliel dismissed the notion, presented by the interviewer, that elements within the "change bloc" would be willing to sit with Likud on the condition that Netanyahu does not lead the government. "Does it sound logical to you that party objectives are personal aspects?" she asked. "This is something that absolutely cannot be considered, certainly not seriously."
