Otzma Yehudit attacked the words of Yair Lapid, who called on the New Right not to join the party.

"We are happy when Lapid is under pressure. Yair Lapid's strong opposition to a large right-wing alliance shows that the left is fearful and well aware that an alliance with Otzma Yehudit is likely to win the elections. We suggest that Lapid, who plans to establish a coalition with terror-supporters Ahmad Tibi and Ayman Odeh, not make idle suggestions to others."
