The chairwoman of the Labor Party, MK Merav Michaeli, said after the vote in the Knesset plenum, "The conduct of the coalition is unequivocal proof that there is no desire for negotiations. I call again on my friends Lapid and Gantz to inform the President that despite the good will, we will not have any contacts and no conversations with this destructive group."
Michaeli added, "Their stated goal is to trample democracy, while they lay traps and baits for us in the form of 'talking'. It's time to stop falling for their traps and join the determined fight of hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens who take to the streets week after week to stop the coup with their bodies. This is the only way to win."
