MK Ze'ev Elkin (New Hope) demands that the Bennett-Lapid government's baseline document include an explicit reference to state policy, and made this a precondition for signing the coalition agreement.

According to Walla, Elkin demanded yesterday (Monday) that there be clear obligations for the government to maintain the status quo in state policy, and not work to advance negotiations on a two-state solution, annexation, or any other political issue. New Hope has denied these reports.
