Yet another Yamina MK says thanks, but no thanks, to Prime Minister Netanyahu, as he aims to build pressure on the right-wing party’s lawmakers not to form a unity government with Yesh Atid.

“There is no need to call to us in speeches to the nation and to send envoys with offers. Also in politics, loyalty and friendship are important values to me,” MK Nir Orbach writes on Facebook.

He adds: “As a religious Zionist who believes in the people of Israel, the Land of Israel and the Torah of Israel, I believe with all my heart that the path of fifth elections which you are seeking to lead to is a slippery slope for Israel.”

Orbach says he backs Bennett in forming a unity government, calling it “the right way.”
