Chairman Moshe Gafni of the Degel Hatorah faction in the United Torah Judaism Party has attacked Chairman Avigdor Liberman of the Yisrael Beiteinu Party, saying "This will be an election campaign about the character of the State of Israel. Everything is about bringing down [Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu."
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the UTJ election headquarters in Bnei Brak, the Knesset Finance Committee chairman said, "It's unbelievable that the State of Israel is going to elections on the whim of one man."
