Yamina Chairman Naftali Bennett broke his silence this past week regarding government formation efforts, stating that his party is already working for the citizens of Israel and will not wait for anyone else. In a Facebook post on Friday, Bennett declared, "The repair has already begun. We are not waiting for anyone." He asserted that Israel has been mismanaged for too long, with systems neglected and hardworking taxpayers not receiving adequate services. Bennett stated that his party entered the Knesset prepared with an experienced team and detailed work plans, submitting 17 bills on their first day. Among these are the "Servicemembers Law," intended to redirect budgets from draft dodgers to those serving, which he called the most significant social revolution in the country's history. He also mentioned a bill to establish a state commission of inquiry into the "massacre" (likely referring to a past event, though not specified), a "Metropolis Law" to transfer transportation authority to local governments and improve public transit, and the "Sagi Laws" in memory of the late Major Sagi Golan, aimed at promoting equality for the LGBTQ+ community. Additional proposed legislation covers education, the northern conflict line and Gaza periphery, Holocaust survivors, combat-related PTSD, and the Druze community. Bennett announced that Liran Avishar Ben-Chorin, who has worked with him on plans for Israel's repair, will head the Finance Committee on Monday, predicting significant positive changes soon. He concluded by expressing his love for the Israeli people and his commitment to working for everyone, regardless of their vote, promising a period of unprecedented action and reform.
