Broadcasts live declaration of allegiance by new government ministers
One by one, the new government ministers came up and declared: "I pledge as a member of the government to maintain allegiance to the State of Israel and its laws, to fulfill my role as a member of government and to comply with the Knesset's decisions."
Earlier, the Knesset plenum approved the appointment of Yariv Levin (Likud) as chairman of the 23rd Knesset, during which Netanyahu and Gantz's unity government will be elected. ) Which received support from 23 Knesset members and MK Ahmed Tibi (joint list) who received support from 20 Knesset members.
"With awe, excitement and hope, I hope to justify the trust that was given to me," said the new Knesset Speaker, replacing outgoing Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein and Temporary Chairman Gantz. "The first leader I got to see is Prime Minister Begin. The experience of meeting him was so powerful, he was my godfather in circumcision.
"I was given rooted Zionist education. This education has largely shaped my worldview, my absolute commitment to the people of Israel, our ancestral heritage and the realization of our unquestionable right to the Land of Israel.
Levin noted that "the tension between the Legislature and the judiciary is a good thing. It is precisely because of this tension that we must pay close attention to the dignity of the judiciary. Its boundary and protect its position. "
Netanyahu, who earlier announced the establishment of a fifth government, initially addressed his partner Benny Gantz: "My son, we worked together on a rocky cliff, I as prime minister and you as chief of staff, to protect the citizens of Israel in an unjust campaign. I am convinced that we will work together successfully for our country. "Netanyahu said that the date of the prime minister's rotation is November 17, 2021. Several Knesset members who interrupted the PM's remarks were removed from the court.
"I saw the possibility of taking office, it is a supreme privilege to be treated in awe and dignity, and won the trust of Israeli citizens. These are 120 Knesset members, so I have seen it then and today. The presidency in the Knesset is not a matter of course. And sometimes fate. Their address will be used for all citizens of the country. "
Netanyahu noted, "This is an important day for the State of Israel," and stressed that "the new government was established in the will of most citizens and will serve all citizens." Speaking to the Unity Government, Netanyahu said: "We have chosen to act with the utmost responsibility for the establishment of an emergency government and a national unity.
"If we went to the fourth election - the additional cost would amount to NIS 2 billion. The additional cost of a unity government, and I do not stick it, is NIS 85 million a year. This cost is infinitely lower than the cost of additional elections. That was the real waste. We were forced to defer treatment of the corona's consequences to an unknown date. "
Netanyahu's remarks were interrupted several times during his speech by Knesset members from the Joint List and Meretz, who shouted at him: "Bribery, fraud and breach of trust", and "You are a criminal defendant." Netanyahu responded: "I can give advice from my years of experience and from an experimental depth, it doesn't work. You get through a country if you show through a country."
"Equally, the huge economic challenge we face is being addressed. It will be a complex budget that will prevent the economy from collapsing and ensure stability. A budget that will give you the citizens of Israel a hope and hope by returning jobs."
Netanyahu said that the new government would continue to thwart security threats from Israel, and also addressed the issue of sovereignty: "We will fight the International Court of Justice's attempt to blame IDF soldiers for war crimes, as well as the State of Israel, for the horrific crime in kindergarten construction. What hypocrisy, what a false twist. These parts of the country are birth districts of the Jewish nation. It's time to apply Israeli law to them.
"This step will not keep peace but bring it closer and peace. The truth is, and everyone knows it, that hundreds of thousands of settlers in Judea and Samaria will always remain in their places in every order. The whole issue of sovereignty is at stake only because I have personally worked to promote it for three full years, openly and not. openly".
Gantz, who had to stop his speech several times following interim calls from his friends until recently from Yesh Atidim, added: "Three election campaigns we went through a year and a half, the people said and left us leaders on both sides of the house or some kind of civil war. Stop fighting between you and start working for us. ”Me, Prime Minister Netanyahu and 71 other members of the public, have reached a decision and taken national responsibility, which are not moments of growing up in yesterday's aspirations.
"Equal Government, Balance and Brake Government. I and my colleagues chose unity to protect Israeli citizens not only from the challenges facing outside the borders but also from the hatred that erodes us and impairs the internal resilience that is important to the entire security. And to the right. "
After Netanyahu and Gantz rose to speak, the intended opposition chairman and chairman of the future is Tal-Tal MK Yair Lapid. He said: "This building has finally lost the confidence of Israeli citizens. Politics takes citizens' money and gives us nothing in return. There is no connection between politics and the real life of real people. In real life, if the expenses exceed the income, they will ring the bank. That's what happens to dozens of small businesses, laid off people, eating savings.
"In this building, in politics, the Corona is an excuse to do a corrupt party at the expense of the taxpayer. Are you today setting up the biggest government, what do you call an emergency government?
