While the results of the 26th Knesset elections sparked celebrations and reactions across political camps, Amihai Atali, a panelist on the program 'The Patriots,' released a video criticizing his colleagues and the right-wing celebrations. Atali argued that the results do not justify a sense of victory, particularly given the perceived weakening of the bloc's power. "Honestly, I don't understand what the arrogance is and what the celebrations are about. 15 mandates, a full right-wing government is silent. What are you happy about, what are you celebrating?" Atali questioned in the video. He also addressed claims about the success of the right-wing camp's predictions compared to other pollsters, recalling his repeated warnings that no bloc would achieve a majority. Atali emphasized that his remarks were not born of schadenfreude, defining himself as part of "the third bloc, the bloc of unity, the bloc of Zionism, the bloc where we must work in cooperation." He suggested that instead of celebrating the discrepancies between predictions and results, the focus should be on how to move forward and the political options available to the system. Atali reiterated his past warnings about the post-election scenario, outlining two possibilities: cooperation between Izankot and the Arab parties, which he deemed illegitimate, or cooperation among the Jewish and Zionist forces. He concluded by calling on the Zionist camps to find a way to work together rather than focusing on celebrations and inter-bloc struggles.
