Lapid reiterates Hadash-Ta’al will not sit in his coalition

Prime Minister Yair Lapid reiterates that the Hadash-Ta’al party will not be part of any future coalition he could establish after the elections.

In an interview with Channel 12, Lapid condemns Joint List MK Aida Touma-Sliman for referring to five slain members of a Palestinian terror group as “martyrs” and asserting that their “resistance” was a response to “the occupation.”

Lapid says this is another example of why Hadash-Ta’al, two of the three parties that currently make up the Joint List, will not be in any future government of his.

Lapid declines to bran the party “supporters of terror” and also refuses to rule out getting outside support from the party to set up a government.

Lapid says he will give specifics on how he plans to form a government once the final results come in after the November 1 vote.
