Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi has issued a strong public statement regarding the current political situation and coalition formation efforts following the recent elections. He cautioned against establishing a "mixed government," criticizing potential alliances between right-wing and religious parties with the "change bloc" and the left. The rabbi likened a mixed government to being "without a head or a tail," contrasting it with the previous "change government" and stating that the current security reality is far more severe.

Rabbi Ben Artzi warned that Israel's enemies are exploiting internal divisions and are poised to attack. He asserted that hundreds of thousands are on alert, believing it is their time to eliminate the Jewish people, and predicted that Israel could face a situation similar to France or Europe. He expressed bewilderment at the public's political choices, given what he described as recent miracles, questioning why people would choose "impurity" after witnessing divine signs and wonders.

The rabbi also addressed the fragmentation within the right-wing camp and the ongoing negotiations with religious parties. He reiterated his prior warnings about the proliferation of small parties that led to wasted mandates, criticizing the possibility of religious parties aligning with the left. He lamented efforts to convince small parties to unite, noting that some votes from Shas had shifted leftward, calling it "madness."

Despite his sharp criticism and warnings, Rabbi Ben Artzi concluded his remarks with a definitive message about the political future. He stated with certainty that he knows what will happen, declaring, "The right is rising, and will continue to rise, and will break through and rise in the end."
