According to CoinMeta, on the 10th, following the first plenary session of Israel's 26th Knesset, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel's caretaker government delivered a speech in which he accused Arab political parties of attempting to "destroy the Jewish state" and "support terrorism." He also criticized the Yesh Atid party for potentially forming a coalition with Arab political parties. In response, Yesh Atid stated that, given Netanyahu's remarks that sought to "split unity," party leader Yair Lapid had instructed the cancellation of coalition negotiations scheduled for the 11th with representatives of the Likud party.
