Blue and White MK Yair Lapid claimed that the election results indicate that the Israeli public is opposed to Prime Minister Netanyahu, and that he will not be able to [continue] serving if indicted.
"[This marks] Netanyahu's third failure in a row. As he has often said, "the majority rules" and the majority has ruled that he cannot [avoid punishment] through the ballot box and cannot [continue in the role of] prime minister while facing indictments," Lapid stated.
''Every effort is being made to establish as wide a [coalition] as possible under the leadership of Benny Gantz. We thank the Election Committee for its efforts and will do everything possible to avoid a fourth election," he concluded.
