Ex-Bennett Ally Sees Netanyahu as Clear Election Winner

Former Member of Knesset Abir Kara, who was previously affiliated with Naftali Bennett's party, stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu achieved a significant political victory in the recent elections, despite no bloc securing a majority to form a government. Kara urged party leaders to set aside personal grievances and boycotts to establish a broad Zionist government.

Kara commented on the developing election results, noting that while no bloc won a clear majority, Netanyahu "defeated the polls and registered a political victory." He emphasized that Israel faces immense challenges and opportunities, and instead of further election cycles, a Zionist government reflecting the people's will should be formed.

He called for a government that is "less extreme, more serious," and one that demands greater public service and responsibility, ceasing to support draft dodgers and public fund embezzlement. Kara stressed that forming such a government requires "brave leaders" willing to prioritize the nation over personal disputes and rivalries.

Kara expressed optimism, suggesting that despite political complexities, an opportunity exists to form a good government with diverse partners focused on the country's welfare. He believes that initial successes will build momentum for further progress, acknowledging that while Israeli politics may not be romantic, the current outcome reflects the public's choice and needs.
