Alon Davidi, the mayor of Sderot, who resigned from Yamina before the formation of the governing coalition, attacked the government in an interview with Galei Zahal:

"The Israeli government is completely dependent upon the UAL [United Arab List]. I'm hoping there will not be a situation in which [Prime Minister] Bennett and [Foreign Minister] Lapid will give up on security decisions so that Abbas stays in the government," Davidi said.
