Leader of the Democrats party, Yair Golan, called to “block every shekel that finances draft evasion,” as well as institutions that incite against service.

"I told the Prime Minister, even in our private meetings: For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep," Ben-Gvir wrote on X/Twitter.

Liberman also called for regime change efforts, establishing a new IDF missile corps, argued the Mossad should focus on toppling Iran's regime, and advocated a tougher stance toward Hezbollah.

This is Likud’s lowest figure since August 2025, when it received 21 seats in a Maariv poll. However, the coalition bloc maintained its strength from last week at 50 seats.

According to Democrats Party head Yair Golan, the riot was a "practical translation" of the contentious haredi draft law. 

Rising costs and falling efficiency point to deep structural problems in Israel’s public sector.

According to Liberman, the government must “come to its senses” and make “real decisions” rather than continue what he described as an unclear military approach in the North.

He warned that any agreement with Iran “would leave all the ayatollahs in power,” making the remarks in a Saturday evening N12 interview.

Liberman says Netanyahu is prioritizing personal legal interests over national security and rejects any future coalition with ultra-Orthodox parties.
