‘Good riddance’: Opposition welcomes coalition decision to dissolve

Meretz party chief Tamar Zandberg reacts to early national polls being called by saying that “it is time for this coalition to dissolve, and it is time for Israel to get a better future.”

“Good riddance,” adds the leader of the left-wing opposition party.

Zionist Union MK Yoel Hasson also welcomes the announcement, saying that “the countdown to the end of Benjamin Netanyahu’s tenure [as prime minister] has begun. The public will judge what government it wants — a government of hope or of stagnation.”

Fellow Zionist Union lawmaker Merav Michaeli reacts by saying that “the worst government we have seen is going home. Israel needs to recover quickly from the disasters of this government. A corrupt government that ruined democracy, sold our security and led us to diplomatic isolation and financial deficit.”
