MK Yoaz Handel (Blue and White) responded in a Galei Tzahal interview to MK Ayelet Shaked, who revealed last night that the New Right party proposed to Hendel and MK Zvi Hauser to join its ranks, saying: "There're aren't many ideological gaps between us and the attitude towards corruption in institutions of the State. These conversations are only in the air because unfortunately Bennett and Shaked are turning to an immunity bloc."

In addition, Hendel commented on MK Ahmed Tibi, who warned that the expected Blue and White support for disqualifying MK Heba Yazbak was "a negative development" and said: "He isn't missing either. He has in his house a picture of Arafat. He's far beyond the gray area."
