Gideon Saar to Ynet: “The management is scandalous, a zigzag crazy. The closure of education

On the political front, Saar said he did not rule out sitting in the government “with anyone who has sat with Netanyahu in the past,” including Yair Lapid, adding that he will not sit under Netanyahu himself: “I present an alternative. It is unlikely that an alternative will creep into the government.

Towards a possible aggravation of the closure and closure of the education system, Saar attacked the government: “The scandalous management, zigzagged crazy. Every two days a new decision. Ten days ago I called to vaccinate teachers and kindergarteners. We vaccinated more than a million people, at 150,000 vaccinated a day. “All the teaching staff in Israel, who are 170,000 people?”

He said, “Teachers and kindergarten teachers should be vaccinated first, the children should be saved from the school year and parents should be allowed to go to work. This government is unable to do anything, it is a delusional thing. It is carrying out a pike closure, and still imports corona from abroad. Unable to enforce anything. There is no such thing as not having enough vaccines, we have vaccinated more than a million people. What is the problem with giving about 170,000 teaching staff vaccinations? Are not first priority? Isn’t it important to study? ”

“The amazing thing is that we have been at the event for a year, and the management is not even improving,” Saar added. “He is constantly at this low standard. I think it is a mistake to shut down the entire education system. It would be arrogant on the part of the government, which has not bothered to assign vaccines to teaching staff, to go lightly to further closure of the education system.”

In an interview, Saar also referred to the vaccination campaign, which has been successful so far, and said that “it has not made all the conduct of the corona crisis, for ten months, successful. In any serious review of the countries in the world, our scores are unfortunately not high. In the importation of corona from abroad and non-inspections of returnees to Israel. We do not use the ability to perform nationwide tests to detect asymptomatic morbidity. Who pays the price for government failures? The citizens. ”

Commenting on his views on changes to the justice system, Saar said: “The justice system does not need destruction, but it does need to be amended. We reject personal legislation, French law and changes in immunity laws – but we will suggest how the system can be changed. The role must be split. The ombudsman who maintains an anomaly – not only of an extreme concentration of powers, but also that the same person sits in the morning with the ministers and the prime minister on policy matters, and in the evening orders their interrogation or prosecution. It’s a built-in conflict of interest. “

He said, “We must maintain the independence of the prosecution in Israel, but there can be no governmental authority without supervision. Today the law of the audit of the Commission of Supervision of the State Attorney’s Office is a toothless law and has no practical validity for investigative powers. We must make sure we change what is necessary.”

He also called for public hearings for candidates for the Supreme Court, to be held in the Judicial Selection Committee. “When it comes to the Supreme Court, the selection process should be transparent,” Saar said. Asked if he wanted Osnat Mark and Miri Regev, who are currently members of the committee, to be part of hearings for the top candidates, he replied: “Regev and Mark did not sit forever on the judicial selection committee, and it is impossible to shape the constitutional principles of the State of Israel.”

Saar reiterated his commitment not to sit in government with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even at the cost of joining the opposition, saying: “I doubt the prevailing perception in all studios that Netanyahu is the sun and the rest are the stars revolving around him. I intend to form the government. Get ready for change. I can reach a wide audience that my predecessors were unable to reach. “

“Only the voter in the State of Israel will say whether Netanyahu has finished,” he added. “I present an alternative. I do not expect an alternative to creep into the government of someone it thinks is not good for the country, just because it lost the election. So my answer is clear – after 15 years of Netanyahu in power, it is time for a change. I applaud the political agreements, but look. “What’s happening in the interior – everything is promiscuous. Nothing.”

Saar elaborated: “Suddenly Netanyahu recalled yesterday, after we presented a detailed plan on the subject, that there is crime and violence in the Arab sector. There are a record number of murders there. The only thing he did was to appear on Mansour Abbas. What did this government do? “Imposing penalties on holders and traffickers of illegal weapons is a critical thing because the punishment in Israel today is poor. The government has torpedoed it. Not only has it done nothing, it has also torpedoed everything. This is how it is in all areas of the interior.”

“I tried to make a change within the Likud,” Saar said. “Today I turn to the people of Israel and tell them – we have the opportunity to make a change. A new party of hope has changed the map. The person responsible for the political instability in the last two years, which has become economic instability, is Mr. Netanyahu. If he is not replaced, there will be no stability. “I ran to restore stability to the State of Israel. I will form a government, so there will be no fifth election.”

Saar was asked if he would use the joint list to form the government and replied: “I, and friends who are with me on the list, worked so that a government would not be formed with the support of the joint list votes – and we did not change our position. The government operates according to worldview, and that remains my position and my friends’ position. “For the Arab public who want to integrate into the State of Israel – I believe in equal rights for all citizens of the state. My difficulty with the joint list is not because it is Arab, but because of its positions. MK Ofer Kasif, who is Jewish, but his positions are very problematic, to say the least.”

On the cooperation between Netanyahu and the prime minister, Mansour Abbas, Saar said: “The prime minister hoped to do artificial resuscitation for his government two weeks ago in a decisive vote, by avoiding the Islamic movement. It shows you how double his standards are. Sources said” Do not be afraid ” “- Not from the Sadducees or from the Pharisees, but from the hypocrites who do a singing act and ask for a reward like Pinchas.”

He declared: “Our Arabs will be represented on the list. Our home is open to all citizens of the state who believe in the founding arrangement of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. The only state of the Jewish people that upholds equal rights for all its citizens.”

He ruled out the possibility of connecting with Bnei Gantz in blue and white, and of a possible connection with Bennett said: “We are approaching the election as a new party of hope, and are not looking for one alliance or another. We have a great team and a clear path. He denied rotation with Netanyahu as prime minister, but when asked about rotation with others he replied: “I will put together the next government, and we will arrange everything else when there are coalition negotiations. I do not go into such theories. ”

On the possibility of sitting with Yair Lapid in the government, Saar said: “There are gaps between us and him in the worldview on many issues. We are in different positions on the state, and very much in approach, but he is a potential partner. I hear the Likud’s amusing attacks, saying ‘Saar will connect with Lapid.’ “Netanyahu himself sat with Lapid in 2013 and appointed him finance minister. That is why I say most clearly – anyone who was Netanyahu’s partner, past or present, can be a partner with us as well. No less.”

At the end of the interview, Saar referred to the attacks expected of him during the election campaign, saying: “I am an honest and clean person. There were no investigations against me, and when they tried to clothe me they turned out to be a false plot, based on forgeries with political sources. I am not afraid of anything. “They will try to defile, but I’m used to it. I’ve been doing it for ten years, I tweet about it. A person who goes into political life should be prepared for everything, including dealing with lies, plots and lies. I never complained or grumbled. I go to the goal.”

The Likud responded: “Saar finds it difficult to defend his inexperience and zero achievements and continues to give interviews that say nothing. Gideon only knows how to complain while Prime Minister Netanyahu brings millions of vaccines to make Israel one of the first countries in the world to emerge from the corona and open the economy. “Can form a government without Lapid and the left. Only the Likud can form a full-fledged right-wing government.”
