Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin (Likud) has requested of Yamina party chief Naftali Bennett and Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid that they present their coalition agreements to the Knesset, along with the accompanying agreements they have made with the other parties expected to join them in government."MK Yair Lapid and MK Bennett have announced that they are able to form a government, but they have yet to give the Knesset Secretariat a copy of their coalition agreement," Levin said. "It is unacceptable that they should conceal their coalition agreements from the Knesset and the public. The agreements should be immediately submitted to the Secretariat, along with the signatures of the parties involved, enabling a public discussion of the agreements - and also, to inform Knesset members of the type and form of government they are voting In."Levin added that, "Failure to present the agreements and refusal to publish all the related agreements gives rise to grave suspicion that the various parties concerned wish to conceal their dealings and prevent public discussion of the issues involved, and also to stifle discussion of the agreement in the Knesset Ince the details are revealed. I call In MK Lapid and MK Bennett to transfer copies of the agreements to the Secretariat immediately."

Yesh Atid and Yamina have responded to Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin's inquiries, clarifying that the coalition agreements and the government's guidelines will be made public after they are signed."We call In Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin to announce to the Knesset as soon as possible that Knesset members Lapid and Bennett have formed a government, and to convene the plenum immediately to swear in this government. The State of Israel needs a functioning unity government that will rescue us from the current chaos," the parties said in a statement.
