The Otzma Yehudit Party has responded to words by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu about the party leaving the Knesset race by saying, "The prime minister also knows that only Otzma Yehudit will not betray the right-wing bloc and enter a Gantz government."
Noting that leaders from other right-wing parties have talked about joining a Gantz government, An Otzma Yehudt statement noted, "Last time, the prime minister went over the head of Otzma Yehudit and prevented the establishment of a right-wing government. If the prime minister wants to set up a right-wing government, we urge him to show responsibility, to let the people decide, and not to try to hurt Otzma Yehudit."
