Likud open to Liberman joining coalition, Education Minister Kisch tells ‘Post’ - interview
Education Minister Yoav Kisch discusses Likud's coalition-making possibilities, political red lines, and his own political future ahead of the October 27 Knesset elections.
Education Minister Yoav Kisch from the Likud party told The Jerusalem Post that his party could consider bringing opposition parties, such as Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman, into a coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, Kisch ruled out a coalition with the Democratic Party's Yair Golan. Kisch outlined Likud's red lines for forming a coalition, which include opposition to a Palestinian state, maintaining security zones, and strengthening Jewish education.
He emphasized that parties demanding an equal military draft would need to cooperate with the haredi community, rather than opposing them. Kisch also discussed plans for an education reform plan worth NIS 15 billion, which includes reducing class sizes and implementing personalized learning through artificial intelligence. He rejected the idea of an inquiry into the October 7 attacks led by Supreme Court President Isaac Amit, advocating for a joint investigation initiated by the coalition and opposition parties.
