“This government has to choose: return the abductees alive, or Ben Gvir and Smotrich, relations with the Americans or Ben Gvir and Smotrich, the Saudi deal or Ben Gvir and Smotrich, Israel's security or Ben Gvir and Smotrich.”

“Calls for elections now during the war, a moment before victory, will paralyze Israel for at least six months; in my estimate, for eight months. They will paralyze the negotiations for the release of our hostages and in the end will lead to ending the war before achieving its goals, and the first to commend this will be Hamas, and that says it all.”

“At this critical juncture, I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision-making process about the future of Israel, at a time when so many Israelis have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their government. Netanyahu surrounded himself with far-right ministers and has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows. Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah.”

“[Smotrich] didn't want that discussion [on the day after] to take place. He is very much against the Palestinian Authority [PA] having any rule in Gaza post the war. Netanyahu cancelled the war cabinet, worried it would fracture his coalition, fracture his government and put his position as prime minister at risk. The war cabinet was also meant to discuss a deal with Hamas - negotiated by the Americans, the Qataris and the Egyptians - about exchanging captives for Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli jails.”

“He's [Benjamin Netanyahu] very vulnerable, more than he's ever been in his political career given that he presided over the greatest intelligence security failure in Israel's history. Prime ministers have fallen for far less than that.”

“It doesn't matter if there's a commission of inquiry or not, or whether or not he [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] admits fault. All that matters is what 'middle Israelis' think - which is that this is a fiasco and that the prime minister is responsible. He will go, and his entire establishment along with him.”

“Abbas's [Mansour Abbas leader of the United Arab List] decision to be part of an extreme government, that will work against the interests of the Palestinians inside Israel and in occupied areas, is a very dangerous one. Imagine being the head of a Palestinian party and not being able to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque or join a funeral procession in Umm al-Fahm because the people would kick you out. Mansour has become an outcast.”

“Joining the coalition aims to address such pressing matters [housing, violence and crime, and unrecognised villages in the Negev desert] and to strengthen the role of Arab factions by making them a direct and essential force in politics. This will benefit the Palestinian community and allow it to access its rights which were denied to it due to previous racist policies, and Palestinian parties remaining outside of the circles of influence. Our entry into negotiations was based on political promises, including pledges by the government to change policies that discriminate against us and a pledge of commitment to reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue.”

“The idea that somehow Abbas [Mansour Abbas leader of the United Arab List] is going to be able to muster up enough support to even introduce legislation that is going to counter some of the racist legislation that Palestinians face is a joke. It's laughable, very naïve and displays a fundamental misunderstanding of Israeli politics and Zionism.”

“The situation in which eight medium and small parties are forming a coalition has never happened before. It will not be easy. Netanyahu is still around. We should cross our fingers and hope that this government will not only oust Netanyahu, but it will also be able to perform and to be sustainable.”

“It is an alliance between eight parties that go from the left to the far right, with advocates of illegal settlement activity and expansion, to proponents of the two-state solution, so [these are] people who don't really have anything in common except the desire to oust Netanyahu. That's the glue of this coalition – how long that glue can keep them together is what a lot of Israelis are wondering.”
