The Democrats party leader Yair Golan called on the opposition to unite with Arab parties to achieve a 65-seat majority in the Knesset, The Jerusalem Post and JNS reported. According to Golan, an opportunity exists to form a government of change in partnership with Israel's Arab citizens that will serve the entire public.

Golan added that what he termed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's racist division between Jewish and Arab votes must no longer be accepted. According to a report by Behadrey Haredim, Golan's appeal sparked shock within the change bloc.

Further details regarding official coalition talks have not yet been released.
