MK Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) said Tuesday that the government has no choice but to advance the elections. “There is nothing to do but to get the public mandate again when coalition parties choose to avoid their patriotic duty in favor of populism,” she said.

“The citizens of Israel must ask themselves to what extent the parties currently wearing the ‘social’ masks will stick to their positions when the next government is put together,” she added.
