Silman replied: "Whoever will form the larger bloc, that's where we were wrong.".

Gal Hakasha: "Two notes, Bibi or Bennett, who are you there?""

Silman replied: "I don't know.".

Shmulik told why he donated 180 NIS to the campaign for Netanyahu: "I woke up in the morning and came across a video of the Netanyahu family with his lawyers. I saw someone with a megaphone shouting 'corrupt, corrupt' and I realized that we had lost it. The man donated his life to the country, he is in the fight of his life, I don't know, we have reached a point where they have lost it. I donated not because he needs the money but out of identification.

""I contributed to the draft because I love them, the Netanyahu family. There are things that are good in the current government and there are things that torment me. Obviously, I would prefer a right-wing government, what's the question, but there was no choice. I'm calm when they both pick up the red phone.".

Shmulik was asked if he thought Netanyahu had been wronged - and he replied: "I don't think so, I'm sure. On the day the government was sworn in, I saw Netanyahu, I approached him and asked him to take a picture with me, he happily replied, I have a picture with him. A warm-hearted man, an excellent leader. If you ask me - we need to see how they change direction here.".

Gal: "What does it mean to change direction? To dissolve the government?""

Shmulik: "First of all, I want us to be human beings. I see 'Eretz Nehederet', I see how they laugh at Benjamin Netanyahu's wife, I don't understand how people advertise there, that's the most important point, forget politics, be human beings. What this woman is going through... I imagine another person would take a weapon and start shooting people, disgusting.".

Sharon: "You're not a politician and I appreciate that you're answering even though we surprised you, but in the end you can't escape it. Everything they said they trampled underfoot. Look at the anger on the right-wing street.".

Shmulik: "First of all, the anger is legitimate, no matter what, but Yamina was never the 61st finger in this government.

'"I'm looking ahead a little, do you know why we fell? Netanyahu brought the peace agreements, he brought vaccines, today we learn that he managed the Corona virus excellently in relation to the complexities. Bennett is also an excellent manager. I'll tell you my opinion, a lot of people need to say sorry.".
