🚨 YAIR GOLAN SHIFTS POSITION, OPENS DOOR TO ULTRA-ORTHODOX COALITION
After Lieberman and Eisenkot rejected a government dependent on Arab parties, Democrats leader Yair Golan now signals willingness to partner with ultra-Orthodox parties—but on his terms.
“We want a partnership with the ultra-Orthodox community, but a genuine partnership requires mutual responsibility.”
Golan demands military conscription, workforce participation and Shabbat freedoms, warning:
“Under no circumstances are we giving anyone a blank check.”
The anti-Netanyahu opposition is reshuffling its alliances.
