Yair Netanyahu issued a warning to right-wing voters, stating that voting for Otzma Yehudit instead of Likud could result in a government led by Gadi Eisenkot. Writing on social media, he cautioned that splintering the right-wing vote risks bringing to power a leftist-Arab coalition.

Sharing a post by Noa Itzik Bonzel, Netanyahu argued that if Likud fails to remain the largest party, President Isaac Herzog will task Eisenkot with forming the government. He emphasized that voters must cast their ballots for Likud rather than satellite parties to secure a right-wing government.

Meanwhile, the question of joining a coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains open. During a recent panel discussion, Yeshar party member Orit Farkash-Hacohen declined to provide a definitive answer when repeatedly asked if her party would commit to refusing a coalition with Netanyahu.
