- Yisrael Beiteinu will not back a government formed with only 58 seats.

Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, firmly stated on Monday that his party will not support the formation of a minority government lacking a full parliamentary majority. In an interview with Galei Tzahal, Lieberman emphasized, "There will be no minority government," and added, "Anyone trying to form a government with only 58 seats, we simply will not be there." This declaration comes amid political speculation that the "Yashar!" party, led by Gadi Eizenkot, might consider forming a government relying on external support or abstentions, including from Arab parties, if no bloc secures 61 seats. Lieberman's remarks explicitly reject any coalition attempts based on such fragile arrangements, effectively closing the door on minority government scenarios involving his party.
