Head of the Telem faction Moshe Ya'alon welcomed Gideon Sa'ar's announcement that he was leaving the Likud to form a new party.
"Gideon, congratulations on joining the effort to save Israel from Netanyahu regime's. Better late than never. Get ready for allegations of Iranians 'hacking' your phone, legal suits, online campaigns designating you a 'leftist traitor', 'disease-spreading anarchist' and more. And that's just for starters. There are no compromises in this struggle," he wrote.
