Derech Eretz MK Zvi Hauser defends his two-man party’s decision to support a unity government between Likud and Blue and White following the March 2020 elections.

“We preferred to give a chance to a unity government, but Netanyahu chose to continue to divide Israel, precisely during an unbearable crisis,” he says, when announcing his decision to join Gideon’s Sa’ar’s party.

“This government has failed at its job.”

Sa’ar, in a tweet, welcomes Hauser and his colleague Yoaz Hendel into his new party.
