The Yachad faction arrived at the President's Residence as part of the consultation round for forming a government and recommended Yashar Chairman Gadi Eisenkot. Knesset Member Ram Ben-Barak said that "forming a government quickly is extremely vital. We are deteriorating to places we never imagined. There is wild incitement against an entire public. When I see what the government is doing with what is happening in Judea and Samaria, it has military, police and Shin Bet force, and is unable to stop 400 people who are causing us indescribable damage. We are in existential danger because of Israel's standing in the world."
