Attorney Michal Diamant, the granddaughter of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, announced that she is joining Gideon Saar’s new party, “New Hope.” Today (Monday) Diamant spoke with Gadi Ness on his program on Radio North 104.5FM, and commented on the words written against her by the Minister of Transportation, Miri Regev (“Tangle would have overturned in his grave”). In addition, Diamant shared why she thinks the time has come to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
You are entering politics and the Minister of Transportation, Miri Regev, is already entering you at 200 km / h.
“True and I reacted to her, so there is nothing more to add. Too bad she goes down to personal stripes at a very, very low level. I wrote my response and it finds itself.”

You grew up in a Likud home and still moved to “New Hope” which is actually an atmospheric party.
“Absolutely not, Gideon Saar, who heads the party, is a person with very clear values and principles. He is not a person who zigzags, so are all the people in the party.”
But the big message is just not Bibi, I will not sit with Netanyahu.
“Our main message is that it is time for a government that will bring us stability, unity and finally settle the political system. That it will bring us the integrity and integrity that is so lacking here, that it will stop the terrible division that crumbles us. “These are the messages of new hope. In order to achieve these goals, we need to replace Bibi, that’s right.”
Benjamin Netanyahu (Photo: Flash 90)Tell us about yourself? Beyond the fact that you are the granddaughter of the late Yitzhak Shamir, what do you bring beyond that?
“I am 38 years old and live in Tel Aviv and practice law, I have managed large cases, mainly economic, I publish articles. I feel there is no choice left, I am disappointed with what has happened here in the last two years. This is a government that fails to unite the people, There is no budget for political reasons, no choice must be made to create an alternative and there is a leadership and authoritative figure who can be another alternative“I strongly believe in Gideon Saar.”
You were in the Likud for years, what did you do there?
“I was an order in the Likud for about ten years, I knew the system from the inside. I lost in the primaries to the list, where any Likud order can run, and I voted for the Likud.”
You need to develop elephant skin, what Miri Regev threw at you yesterday is just the beginning.
“Yes she did me develop.”
Were you surprised?
“I did not expect and it was not pleasant, but it is part of it. Unfortunately, this is the discourse that now dominates the country. My family is supportive and stands behind me.”
Could it be that you are giving in to the overthrow of the Likud regime?
“I give my hand to the government in the possession of Gideon Saar. His principles are similar to mine, he can unite many parties under him. There are many reforms that the party intends to make. New hope has all the solutions.”
Isn’t there a good word for Netanyahu?
“There are many good words for Netanyahu. He has brought Israel to achievements, unfortunately at the moment he is no longer producing what is needed, There is no stability here, no unity and unfortunately much because of it. I think there is no choice and the government must be replaced. We must give Gideon Saar checks a stable government that will lead to the unity of the people. “
