Minister Moshe Ya'alon commented on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to hold early elections, saying that Netanyahu "made the best decision under the circumstances. The Israeli public will vote for four more years of the Likud."
The National Union party also issued a statement following Netanyahu's announcement, saying that "in the upcoming election, Jewish Zionism will be back with at least 12 mandates in a ticket with the Jewish Home party." (Attila Somfalvi, Moran Azulay)
