On his Facebook page, MK Moti Yogev (Jewish Home) called on the public to stand behind the party leaders' decision to remain in the government.

"At a time when the former defense minister chose to evade responsibility, my friends, ministers Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked chose to be responsible for the government, and this is the right decision in the face of the security and other challenges facing us. Even if we pay a political price, the state will benefit," Yogev wrote.
