Jerusalem:Former Prime Minister Yair Lapid has announced his determination to form a new government, acknowledging that the process may require significant coalition concessions. Lapid made these remarks during the fourth conference of the "Yesh Atid" party on Thursday evening.
According to Maan News Agency, Lapid expressed confidence in the eventual formation of a "good government for the people of Israel," despite potential delays and a period of anxiety and fear. He emphasized the necessity of making painful compromises to establish a government, citing a lesson learned from former Prime Minister Netanyahu to "form the government first, then reform, improve and expand it."
Lapid also addressed the creation of the "Together" bloc in partnership with Naftali Bennett, approving the move from both a moral and political view. He stated that, although the bloc comprises two parties, they operate as a single unit with coordinated efforts. Lapid assured that the relationship within the bloc is strong, and he and Bennett are committed to working together in the Knesset to achieve their goal of forming a government.
