“No problem, you want to go, you can – there is also a way to go,” she added. “The way she did it yesterday it was so despicable, really, it looted her, not us. You got a seat from us, sat here and undermined us? What is this thing? What is this concept?”, The MK continued.
Mark also attacked the man who is considered Shir’s political patron, Gideon Saar, who in the political system has been appreciating since the moment he announced his retirement that Shir will eventually join him as well. “Gideon Saar regained his mandate and remained stately, but sent his soldiers to fight for the Likud, in the house where you grew up, where you grew up politically, who created your political career.”

Saar’s new party, “New Hope”, is disdainfully called by MK Mark “Refugee Party”, noting that MK Yifat Shasha Bitton, “a refugee of all of us” as she puts it, has also joined it. By the way, Mark also blamed Shasha Bitton for the second closure announced by her party leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in September. “Shasha Bitton has never been a Likud, she has not broadcast in the Likud waves for a long time. She is the one who caused the second closure when she opened all the gyms and restaurants and what not, when she had responsibility only after her populism.”
Despite the failure of her faction’s attempt to postpone the election, Mark is confident that the Likud will win. “I am very happy that in the end we are going to the elections, we will work very hard. But yesterday we managed to stop this legal dictatorship that Avi Nissenkorn tried to establish on us, and I am sure we are going to win and Netanyahu will be prime minister again.” She even predicted that after the election, “all these atmospheric parties” would try to join a coalition led by Netanyahu.

However, Cohen fired most of the arrows of criticism in his interview with the Blue and White Party, headed by Bnei Gantz. The proposal yesterday, it will be recalled, did not pass after Gantz and his party decided to refrain from supporting the move, although it seemed that they hoped it would pass anyway, in order to maintain a last opening for dialogue in the 90th minute. However, three MKs from the party, Miki Haimovich, Assaf Zamir and Ram Shefa – rebelled and voted against anyway, thus contributing to thwarting the attempt to postpone the election.
“Yesterday afternoon we were in a situation where we were in fact closed: agreement on the law that passes the budget transfer from 2021 to January 5, a summary on the rotation and legal status quo – but what happened was that Ganz did not withstand the media pressure,” Cohen accused.
Cohen claimed that behind the thwarting of the compromise that would have prevented the election was Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn, who he claimed was interested in joining the Labor Party down the road. “Nissenkorn took Ganz as hostage and led to the suicide of Blue and White. Nissenkorn wants to form the Labor Party. That is his goal and his thought,” Minister Cohen accused. He further claimed that Ganz had “lost control” of his party and was broken by those he called “Twitter tweeters”. “I would not be surprised if Ganz retires from political life,” he added.
Another forecast by Minister Cohen in an interview: he believes that the Likud will not only win, but that the bloc led by it will win more than 60 seats. “Dare to come out sweet,” he promised. He also predicted that Naftali Bennett’s “right” would receive around ten seats.
– Are you building on Bennett?
“First of all, we will hear him and in our eyes Bennett should be part of the right-wing bloc. His voters are right-wingers and if he says he will not go with Netanyahu, his seats will pass to us.”

MK Michal Kotler-Wensch of a white brush was also interviewed by the Ynet studio, and her words did not sound very confident in the party’s ability to win a significant election victory, in the shadow of the polls that predict a dramatic drop – perhaps even below the blocking percentage.
– Blue and white party disbanded yesterday?
“I do not know how to answer that. I very much hope that the public will know that Blue and White was not only founded to constitute and produce a real alternative, but that all the prices it paid and still pays it did when the only thing that motivated it was responsibility towards Israel.”
Kotler-Wensch reiterated the message sent by her party members, that although the possibility of elections is bad in light of the health and economic crises that Israel is currently facing, the possibility of a government not functioning, and without a budget, is much worse.
“It’s really not an easy solution,” she said of going to the polls. “It’s a very bad option, but a worse option is a dysfunctional government that does not pass a biennial budget and uses democratic tools like basic laws to serve the changing needs of changing circumstances, failing to appoint senior appointments that are needed and need to stabilize and provide certainty in such a difficult attack. , Which fails to pass important laws that are awaiting promotion. “
“Blue and white have never considered their own good and certainly not Gantz. Blue and white was founded as a governmental alternative so that it can represent Israeli society faithfully and responsibly and produce substantial unity – and not just technical unity as this mechanism of the coalition agreement is intended to be.”
MK Toporovsky: “You don’t have to be a magician to bring vaccines”

MK Boaz Toporovsky from the Yesh Atid party was also interviewed at the studio, declaring that the thwarting of the postponement of the election was a victory that “all of Yair Lapid and the camp that wants to get Netanyahu out of power.” According to Toporovsky, “Netanyahu has not experienced a loss for many, many years. This is the beginning of the great victory, a victory in the elections, in fact there is one bloc led by Netanyahu and opposite it a bloc led by Yair Lapid. ”
When asked that the polls indicate that it was Gideon Saar’s party, which stated that it also did not intend to support Netanyahu as prime minister and that he was running for office, Toporovsky insisted that a future coalition without Netanyahu should be led solely by Lapid.
When the issue of vaccines, which Netanyahu now boasts about, came up in an interview, Toporovsky said: “He did not bring vaccines, with all due respect he is not Pfizer, he did not vaccinate.”
Lapid said in his voice that he would not bring vaccines in December.
“You don’t have to be a magician to pay money and buy vaccines.”
You would come out a little bigger if you were to say ‘Walla was wrong’ when it came to vaccines.
“Obviously it’s very good to have vaccines, but you don’t have to inflate it beyond what it is – vaccines created by a company abroad and the State of Israel paid much more than anything else to get it first. Well done, very nice, but do not need magicians for it. “We need leadership to get Israel out of this crisis, and we need to put Israel at the top of our priorities and not the political survival that is what Netanyahu and Ganz did in the end.”
