Israeli House Speaker MK Avigdor Lieberman said Thursday in an interview with IDF waves that "the prospect of a unity government or a narrow government does not exist - a great miracle has to happen for that to change. We will not sign candidates until Wednesday. ”

Lieberman accused both Netanyahu and Gantz of the political plunder, claiming that they both wanted elections. "Two people are dragging the State of Israel into the elections over who will be first or second. Netanyahu and Gantz have 65 seats together. They don't need me."

"I made every effort and turned every stone. But there was a strategic decision by Gantz and Netanyahu to go to the elections," Lieberman argues, "so giving it another two weeks will be a waste of time. There is currently only an accusation game. Both of them want elections."

Lieberman also emphasized that "It was politically lucrative to go with Netanyahu. It is the simplest and most convenient. For the State of Israel, it is the worst. The state should have a unity government. If the Likud and the blue blue together form a government, everyone will join.

Lieberman added that in his opinion, Netanyahu does not want a narrow government at all because it does not endeavor to do so and does not impose demands on the ultra-Orthodox. "Netanyahu is not making any effort. We have published our minimum requirements. We have requested conversion by the city's rabbis. Netanyahu could have obtained it from the ultra-Orthodox. That was the status line until the 1990s."

Israeli House Speaker also warned that "a narrow government and dramatic security and economic decisions will lead to a level of change we have not yet seen. There is a security threat and a budget deficit and the Likud speaks of a law on increasing party funding. Gantz is reluctant to accept five more seats, but the state will lose. "
