Jerusalem:Former Prime Minister Yair Lapid has expressed his determination to form a new government in Israel, despite the potential challenges and delays involved. Speaking at the "Yesh Atid" party's fourth conference, Lapid acknowledged that the process might involve making significant coalition concessions.
According to Maan News Agency, Lapid emphasized that, although the formation of the government might be accompanied by a period of anxiety and fear, the ultimate goal is to establish a good government for the people of Israel. He highlighted the necessity of painful compromises in the process, drawing on lessons learned from Netanyahu about forming the government first and then working on reforms and improvements.
Lapid also addressed the partnership with Naftali Bennett and the creation of the "Together" bloc, approving of this move from both moral and political perspectives. He described the bloc as two parties acting as one, committed to coordination until their objectives are met. Lapid assured that relations within the bloc are strong, and he and Bennett intend to continue collaborating in the Knesset to achieve their goal of forming a government.
