The Tikva Movement, which previously led large-scale protests during the judicial reform period, has announced a public campaign against the formation of a government it claims would rely on parties supporting terrorism. The movement views this as crossing a red line, asserting that political considerations and the desire for a change of government should not supersede national principles and state security.
Beraleh Crombie, Chairman of the Tikva Movement, stated, "It cannot be that the seat is more important than the country." He criticized the left for being willing to form a government with terror supporters after recent events and years of fighting terrorism, calling it a red line that no Zionist leader should cross. Crombie emphasized that a government must be based on those committed to Israel's existence as a Jewish and safe state, not on those who undermine it.
The movement plans to engage in public and media efforts, urging Knesset members and party leaders not to support a government dependent on parties that advocate for terrorism. Crombie added that the Tikva Movement, known for its ability to mobilize hundreds of thousands of Israelis in past campaigns, will not stand idly by. "We will not remain silent. We will launch a determined public struggle and make it clear to every elected official: there are things that are not done. A government with terror supporters is not a legitimate political solution, nor can it be an alternative to a government elected by the Israeli public."
The new campaign joins previous public struggles led by the Tikva Movement, and they intend to rally broad public support and all factions within the national camp.
