""What I see in all the polls and also from the conduct of the last two years is that Netanyahu is unable to form and maintain a stable government, so it's time to replace him, and that will only happen from the right," Bennett said in an interview he gave to Channel 2.
He said, "Yamina will not sit in a government led by the left, including Lapid as prime minister. Lapid can say he is anything, but in the end we will not sit in a government led by the left. We have no problem with Lapid participating in the government, but the question on the ballot is between Netanyahu and me.".
He added: "Netanyahu can only be replaced from the right because the vast majority of the people are on the right and it doesn't make sense for him to have a prime minister from the left. That's why I say to Lapid voters and others: the only way to replace Netanyahu is to vote for us. We are not in any bloc and ultimately this election campaign is within the national camp.".

He was asked whether the Religious Zionist Party could sit in the government he would form and replied that Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir are possible partners. "We will sit with anyone who is in favor of a Jewish and democratic state - we are against boycotts," he emphasized.
When asked whether he would sit, if he were not in a position to form a government, in a coalition led by Gideon Sa'ar, Bennett replied: "I am ready to sit in any national government. The goal is to replace Netanyahu, and today it is more essential than ever.".
