Sharren Haskel urges a broad unity cabinet after upcoming election

Sharren Haskel, who resigned as deputy foreign minister in July and founded the Israel First party, told one outlet that the upcoming election will cement a binary divide between the "Bibi camp" and the "anti-Bibi camp." She warned that this polarization blocks any moderate coalition unless a party like Israel First gains parliamentary representation. Haskel believes her party could act as a kingmaker, forcing the two sides to sit together and set aside hostility.

She also criticized sectoral parties for pursuing narrow interests, urging a government that looks to Israel's overall good. The party plans to support a coalition that does not rely on such parties, emphasizing unity and strength.
