In depth

Yoaz Hendel, chairman of the Reservists and Economic Party, spoke ahead of the counting of soldiers' votes and took full responsibility for leading the party. According to Israel Hayom, Hendel attacked the campaigns waged against him by Likud and the Change Camp on the electoral threshold issue, and stressed the need for a broad Zionist government.

According to Srugim, Hendel said he is responsible for the party's achievement, far from the electoral threshold, and claimed the media trickled out to the public that the party would not pass it. According to Channel 14, Hendel calls on the leaders of the Zionist parties to unite and form a government without dependence on the Haredi and Arab parties, and makes clear he will not give up his political path.

According to Channel 14, conversations with figures in the party indicate that preparations are already underway for the possibility of another round of elections.
