Communications Minister Yoaz Handel (Derekh Eretz) said in an interview with Ynet on Sunday that he and his faction member, MK Zvi Hauser, will not take part in any efforts to form a new government.
"We will not give our blessing to Netanyahu's minority government. Nor to any government with extremists and the Arab political party Balad,"said Handel, "If Yair Lapid wants such a government, by all means go for it. As for me, it is either a unity government or election. "
