Opposition Leader Yair Lapid said he "very much hopes that President Herzog will not try to push for another fake unity government in which Netanyahu will deceive his partners again and bring more and more disasters upon Israeli citizens with the votes of people who voted to remove him from power. We will not cooperate with this and I also call on the other parties in the camp to announce in advance that they will not be part of such a government." The remarks came in response to President Isaac Herzog's comments at Ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth's 'People of the State' conference: "I will do everything I can so there won't be repeat elections."
