Member of Knesset Shelly Yechimovich (Zionist Union) expressed hope Sunday evening that her party will not enter the government if it is invited to do so.

Interviewed by Israel Defense Forces Radio, the former Labor party leader said, "This is another unfortunate example of the crawling of a Labor Party into the Netanyahu government, and I look at my party with love and concern and pray that they will not make mistakes again, I think this will be another political blow from which there will be no recovery."
