Minutes after Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid finished his press conference in which he urged for the formation of a unity government, Joint List MK Aida Touma-Sliman posts a tweet in which she urges Lapid not to agree to a rotational agreement with Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett.
“If Netanyahu is unable to form a coalition, Lapid should not cede the premiership to Bennett who has just seven seats. Lapid should demand that he be the sole leader of the government. This would be a government which is not right-wing. This kind of government would be one that the Joint List would be prepared to back,” she tweets, before deleting the comment moments later
