Newly sworn-in Member of Knesset Dr. Tzviקה Mоr of the Religious Zionism party has called for the formation of a unity government, stating that the Israeli electorate has indicated no single party can govern alone. In an interview with 103fm, Mоr expressed his hope for a broad coalition, inviting any party that adheres to the core principles set by the two largest parties to join.

Mоr also criticized potential cooperation with Arab parties, citing their alleged disrespect for Israel's symbols, such as walking out during the national anthem at the Knesset swearing-in ceremony. He questioned the possibility of such dialogue with those unwilling to condemn Hamas, referencing the period before October 7, 2023.

Reflecting on personal moments, Mоr shared his emotional experience of his son, a combat soldier, being discharged from military service after enlisting at the start of the war. He also spoke of his own deep emotion upon entering the Knesset for the first time, drawing parallels to the aspirations of his Holocaust survivor grandparents.

When asked about Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, Mоr identified shared values, including being Jewish, having responsibility for future generations, serving in the military, and a willingness to sacrifice for the country. He commended Golan for his actions on October 7 and for engaging in public discourse.

Mоr concluded by emphasizing the urgent security challenges facing Israel, such as the Iranian nuclear program, the need to conclude operations in Gaza, and the proliferation of weapons in the West Bank, arguing these necessitate unity across political divides.
