Opposition head, MK Yair Lapid, discussed the motion to dissolve the Knesset in an interview with Radio 103FM.

"I don't know if the bill will pass a preliminary reading today. The government lost control of the country and stopped functioning in the middle of a national crisis. So eventually we'll have elections. I am not ready to discuss ministerial portfolios with Blue & White yet, however," said Lapid.

"If we do run with Blue & White, I will head the party because Yesh Lapid is twice as strong as they are [according to current polls]. I let Gantz get the #1 spot when his party was the biggest. Such a union could give us the election win."
