No minority government, no Netanyahu: Liberman sets coalition red lines ahead of elections
With neither political bloc projected to secure a majority, Liberman ruled out a minority government, rejected Netanyahu, and suggested Likud MKs could defect after the elections.
Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman declared on Thursday that his party would not back a minority government or collaborate with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's administration post-election, regardless of circumstances. This stance effectively ruled out a potential Yashar-led minority government following the October 27 election if neither his bloc nor Netanyahu's achieved a 61-seat majority.
Liberman conveyed in a Twitter post that his party would exclusively form a coalition with Zionist parties, rejecting Ra'am, the Joint List, Shas, and United Torah Judaism. He further affirmed that Yisrael Beytenu would not participate in a government with Netanyahu's Likud, provided Netanyahu retained his leadership position.
