The Blue and White Party has criticized the signing of the agreement between the New Right, the National Union and the Jewish Home to run together in the September 17th Knesset elections.
A Blue and White statement said, "An alliance of extremists was established this evening. Smotrich and Peretz's insistence on recommending only Netanyahu is their payment for temporary appointments to be ministers. We are disappointed that [New Right leaders] Bennett and Shaked have joined forces with the extremists who are undermining the rule of law and who have given a hand to Netanyahu's immunity. Today it is clearer than ever - it is either an extreme immunity government or a responsible government which will work for Israeli citizens."
