Hili Tropper, chairman of the Zionist-Reservist House, which does not pass the threshold in most polls, announced today (Tuesday) that his party will not sit in any government led by Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a video he posted on X, Tropper said: "We will only be part of a Zionist government. We will make a real effort to expand the government as much as possible with parties that will accept our principles. We will not sit in Netanyahu's government.".
The Religious Zionist Party responded: "This is what the fake unity of Tropper and Handel looks like, who announce that they are boycotting religious Zionists, and over a million Likud voters who see Prime Minister Netanyahu as a candidate for prime minister.".
""In effect, a trooper is putting a gun to the head of the national camp, and saying: Either Netanyahu is removed - or I appoint Yair Golan as defense minister and Naama Lazimi as a cabinet member. This is not unity. This is gratuitous hatred and a return to the divisive boycotts of October 6.".
Unity Party Chairman Gilad Erdan responded: "Now things are clear: You voted for Trooper - you got Yair Golan. Only the Unity Party will not sit in any narrow government but will lead to the establishment of a broad unity government of the two blocs.".
