The party's chairman, former Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, said this morning (Wednesday) in an interview with the Walla website: "There is nothing worse than this government for Israel. Everything is better. We need quick elections and to make this government as much as possible forgotten." Bennett sharply criticized the government's handling of the coronavirus crisis and said: "This government has a clear preference for personal interest over national interest in every way. It is a government that is enslaved to honor, jobs, quarrels, to grabbing more headlines, and it has forgotten us, the citizens. There is a shocking failure here by the government and the prime minister that is almost unprecedented in the scope of damage and suffering, and it is heartbreaking." Referring to the increasing attacks from the Likud on him and his party, which are expected to be a central pillar of the next election campaign, Bennett said: "I can't stop people from slandering, that's the nature of politics. I deeply recognize a new trend, and it is a matter-of-fact trend, from all the noise of protests and 'leftists are traitors' and 'rightists are fascists.' Anyone who is inflamed with hatred for one another will probably not vote for me. "The line could be that Bezalel Smotrich and Naftali Bennett are leftists, go for it. I don't remember in the last decade that Likud has imposed sovereignty over a single inch of Judea and Samaria or reformed the judicial system, so it's a bit funny that Smotrich is being accused of breaking to the left. I still intend to talk to everyone and explain what my vision is. Israel is Israel, Netanyahu is Netanyahu, it's not the same thing." Yamina faction chairwoman MK Ayelet Shaked told the Ynet website: "This government is sick, no medicine will help it. It's right to go to the elections.".
