Yoaz Hendel said in a Channel 14 interview Saturday night that he never imagined he would run together with Hili Tropper, who was a Labor Party member, and called on Prime Minister Netanyahu to 'go home,' saying he does not want to deal with him.
Yoaz Hendel, a former minister and co-chair of the new Reservists Party alongside Hili Tropper, made the remarks in an interview broadcast on Channel 14 on Saturday night. The two launched their joint political run in July, as The Zioneer reported. Hendel's comments on Tropper highlighted the unexpected nature of their alliance, given Tropper's Labor Party background. On Netanyahu, Hendel said he does not spend all day dealing with the prime minister and believes he should leave office. The remarks come amid an ongoing election campaign in which Hendel and Tropper are positioning themselves as a centrist Zionist alternative.
