Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Liberman wrote on X that "all the talk about a minority government is dangerous. We cannot rely on lawmakers from Ra'am and the Joint List, who after the October 7 massacre define Hamas as a charity organization and accuse IDF soldiers of genocide and crimes against humanity. A minority government, by definition, is an unstable government, subject to extortion. All the talk about a minority government conveys weakness and defeatism."
