MK Tamar Zandberg (Meretz) appealed to MKs from the Labor party not to join the emerging unity government.
"Amir, Itzik, don't be the bridge to a right-wing government," she said. "I'm appealing to those who ran with us on a joint list to put a stop to all the rumors and let it be known that you won't steal the votes of those who appointed you to be a left-wing alternative. [Announce] that you won't hand over their votes to a government of racism and corruption. This is your responsibility and what your voters expect you to do - this is your moral duty, as a left-wing party."
