Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman made clear that his party will not join a coalition that includes the Arab parties. According to Arutz Sheva and Ynet, Liberman wrote that "whoever wants to rely on supporters of terror can go ahead," and that his party would not be there.

According to Israel Hayom, Liberman attacked the Joint List and Ra'am, and mentioned the remarks of Ofer Cassif, Yousef Jabareen and Osama Saadi, which he presented as support for terror. According to Arutz Sheva, Liberman claimed that Cassif supported the proceedings initiated by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

The statement came after remarks by Gadi Eisenkot, according to which he intends to form a new government, and after Yair Lapid's request for patience. According to Ynet, Liberman reiterated his position that he would not be part of a coalition that includes the Arab parties.
