• Opposition leader Yair Lapid said: "There is a representative on the committee for the selection of judges, but there is no committee for the selection of judges. Today Netanyahu prevented its establishment... The committee was not established, the threat to democracy It was not removed. Netanyahu knew exactly the consequences. They were made clear to him by the president and by us. Without a committee to select judges, we will not reach the president's house. There is no committee - no talks."
• Benny Gantz said a short time ago: "In the current state of affairs, where there is no committee functioning as required - there is no point in holding talks at the president's residence. I emphasize - we did not enter into the talks for Netanyahu, but in spite of Netanyahu. We entered them for the sake of the State of Israel."
