  • Yoaz Hendel and Hili Tropper refuse to join Netanyahu's current coalition due to its reliance on non-Zionist votes.
  • They insist on participating only in a Zionist government with majority Zionist support.
  • Netanyahu's coalition is described as dependent on non-Zionist votes, making their involvement irrelevant.
  • They are open to joining a broad unity government including Gantz, Bennett, Lieberman, and Netanyahu.
  • The party seeks to align with whoever brings the most Zionist recommendations.

Yoaz Hendel and Hili Tropper, leaders of the Zionist Union-Militarists party, reaffirmed their refusal to join Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. Following Tropper's earlier statement that they would not sit in Netanyahu's government, Hendel emphasized to party activists that their position remains unchanged: they support only a Zionist government. They stated they would align with whoever secures the most Zionist recommendations. Hendel criticized Netanyahu for maintaining a coalition reliant on non-Zionist votes, making their participation irrelevant under the current arrangement. However, they expressed willingness to join a broad unity government including figures like Benny Gantz, Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Lieberman, Netanyahu, and others if such a coalition forms.
