Bereaved father Chagai Luber addressed Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech Wednesday in which he called for the formation of a unity government, thanking him for the move.
"Thank you Bibi, thank you!" Luber wrote. "In these elections I voted Likud for the first time in my life. And it wasn't easy. I saw, and I still see, in the ruling party and its leader those responsible for failing to prevent the massacre that also led to the fall of my beloved son Yehonatan."
"At the same time, I credit them with a series of achievements in the war and in other areas," he continued.
"But in my vote this time I didn't make the calculations of the past, I made the calculations of the future: I believed, and my belief has only strengthened, that it is imperative to form a government of cross-bloc cooperation."
"It was clear to me that the change bloc would not go for this move even if the price would be forming a government that relies on terror supporters and giving up on drafting chareidim. And unfortunately, I was right."
