Freshly elected Member of Knesset Sharon Sharabi of the Yisrael Beiteinu party stated in an interview that his party is extending a hand to Haredi parties for potential coalition partnerships, while deeming Arab leadership "unworthy" of being part of the next government. Sharabi, whose brother Eli is a hostage survivor and brother Yossi was murdered in captivity, explained that his party's leader, Avigdor Lieberman, refuses to sit with Arab parties.
Sharabi elaborated on his stance, citing the events of October 7th. He expressed his inability to sit with those who refuse to condemn Hamas, refer to them as a "charity organization," or acknowledge the atrocities committed, including the rape of women and murder of children. "Therefore, the Arab leadership is not worthy of being part of the next government. That is why our hand is extended to our Haredi brothers, with whom compromises can be found at this time from everyone, without giving up our principles but being flexible where possible," he said.
Sharabi outlined his legislative priorities, focusing on supporting those affected by the recent war. This includes providing aid to bereaved families, the wounded, and the families of hostages, aiming to reintegrate them into life. He also plans to push for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry to uncover the truth about the events of October 7th. Sharabi emphasized that these are his urgent initiatives, with more to follow.
