Maj. Gen. (res.) Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats:

Gadi, Naftali, Avigdor.

Our only mission is to save the country together from the government of massacre, draft-dodging, and abandonment.

We must not attack one another. The game of musical chairs doesn’t matter—the country does.

You know that we will all recommend the same candidate for prime minister (I’ve already stepped aside; now it’s your turn).

Keep your eyes on the ball.

Let’s work together as a bloc so that the bloc wins. Let’s increase voter turnout. Let’s win.

The forty most important days in the country’s history are now underway.
