Hendel: I won't be Netanyahu's 61st vote, but I will join a unity government...

Yoaz Hendel, chairman of the Reservists-Economic Party, stated two days before the polls that he would not provide Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the 61st Knesset seat needed to form a government. He said he would join a unity government that includes Netanyahu, Naftali Bennett, and Gadi Eisenkot.

Hendel declared his party is the only way to establish a Zionist government without Haredi or Arab parties.
