Minister: No unity govt; new elections ahead

As change-bloc leaders struggle to form a coalition, Otzma Yehudit's Amichai Eliyahu says he expects the country to return to the polls rather than see a unity government

Minister Eliyahu: No Unity Government Will Be Formed; Repeat Elections Coming

As coalition talks and political scenarios swirl in Jerusalem, Minister Amihai Eliyahu (Otzma Yehudit) has drawn a red line and launched a sharp attack on the idea of forming a unity government.

In an interview this morning on Galei Tzahal, he explained that any attempt to form a unity government would undermine the core goals of the right. "Unity means preserving a problematic judicial system," he said.

He also addressed the efforts within the change bloc and the various coalition scenarios under discussion, stressing that going to the polls is preferable to political compromises he considers unacceptable.

"With Hashem's help, we will go to elections," he declared, adding unequivocally: "No government will be formed with terror supporters."
