Religious Zionism also issues a statement saying it is “committed to repairing the justice system in order to keep Israel Jewish and democratic. We’ve always sought agreements and agreed to compromise.

“But a surrender by the majority to an extreme minority willing to burn everything down because it lost the election is not on the table.”

Meanwhile, Yisrael Beytenu chief Avigdor Liberman says the opposition “must not fall into this trap again. The only thing we should do is fight to bring down this failing messianic government.”
