Members of the Machane Tzioni young division protested on motzei Shabbos outside the home of party leader MK Yitzchak Herzog calling on him not to enter into the government coalition. The protest was a response to mounting reports that Herzog is close to closing a deal with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

The participants in the protest shouted they voted for Machane Tzioni as an alternative to Likud and not to become a member of a Likud-led coalition. They called on Herzog to immediate abandon all negotiations surrounding the party entering into any coalition headed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
