Former Israeli Consul in New York Danny Dayan (New Hope) spoke today (Tuesday) with Golan Yokfaz and Anat Davidov on 103FM about the upcoming elections, claimed that he is not bothered by the polls, and stressed that if they win, they will enter the government with Bennett: “He will be a very respected member of Gideon Saar’s government, even The natural partner in Gideon Saar’s government. ” Regarding Ganz, he said that “one of the reasons I joined Gideon Saar that I have known him for over 30 years, is that I know that what I see is what I get and it is not Bnei Gantz, Gideon Saar has an iron spine and a word he does not break.”
How much are you bothered by the polls?
“No worries, next to the poll you published a poll of prime ministerial suitability and that’s the best predictor I know of what the election results will be.
If you had put Saar in front of Netanyahu, the gaps would have been smaller.
“As the election approaches and the public realizes that this is the real choice for whom the prime minister will be – I am optimistic.”
Assault will form the government Suppose, how?
“Very simply, it is clear that he will be the only one who can form a government, Netanyahu will not be able to. In such a case, there will be several possibilities to form a government. He is the only one who can recognize all the Zionist parties that recognize Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.”
Who will come with you?
“Anyone who has been a partner in Benjamin Netanyahu’s governments in the past is a legitimate partner in our government as well.”
And how will you ride without the Arabs and without Ben Gvir? Will owe Bennett.
“Certainly with Bennett, he will be a very respected member of Gideon Saar’s government, even the natural partner in Gideon Saar’s government.”
Will not be supported by the list.
“Certainly not, unequivocally.”
God forbid, the day will come when we will decide whether to go to a fifth system or whether you will join the Netanyahu government.
“It will not be the dilemma. I refuse to play this game.”
wev’e been there.
“That’s why a new hope has arisen to prevent it.”
Do you not see a scenario in which Netanyahu tells Saar to listen or are we all going to the height of the economic and health crisis for a fifth election campaign and it’s on your head or are you joining me in the government with or without rotation?
“You are playing a game that is not real because there will be a third option to form a government of Gideon Saar according to all the polls currently for Netanyahu.”
Netanyahu and Bennett 60 seats.
“60 is not 61 and Bennett is not in his pocket yet, I do not know what he will decide, there is no government unless of course he forms a government with a PM. If Netanyahu intends to form a government with a PM we are probably in a different game. But then the justification for new hope and voting Gideon Saar has grown sevenfold. “
No movie in any situation that new hope joins Bibi?
“One of the reasons I joined Gideon Saar that I have known him for over 30 years is that I know that what I see is what I get and it is not my son Gantz, Gideon Saar has an iron spine and a word he does not break. In this respect Gideon Saar reminds me of Yitzhak Shamir And having his granddaughter join our list is a refreshing innovation. “
How many seats will you have?
“Very high double-digit.”
External support of the joint?
“Two MKs who prevented the formation of a government with the mutual support are on our list and that says it all.”
Without the support of the joint, without the use of the joint in the government, without Itamar Ben Gvir, but with the victory and the formation of the next government?
“Right.”
