Lieberman vs. Netanyahu and Gantz: exerting pressure and unwilling to give up on ego

Less than 48 hours before the Knesset's dissolution, Chairman Yisrael Beitenu again blamed the leaders of the major parties for thwarting the establishment of a unity government. Lieberman said that his party was offered every possible role in the government and the Knesset, provided they agreed to enter a narrow government. "

Lieberman vs. Netanyahu and Gantz: exerting pressure and unwilling to give up on ego

Less than 48 hours before the Knesset's dissolution, Israeli House Speaker Avigdor Lieberman said Tuesday that his party is under pressure and called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz to form a unity government. Lieberman wrote in his Facebook account that "In recent days, our home has been under pressure and temptation, as I have not remembered since I started my way in Israeli politics. We have been offered every possible role in the government and the Knesset, only to agree to a narrow government, contrary to our promise to the voter."

Lieberman blamed Netanyahu and Gantz for failing to train the government, stating that "if a government is not formed within the next 24 hours, it is solely because the leaders of the two major parties were unwilling to give up their ego, and could not reach an agreement on who will serve first as prime minister and when they will rotate. The rest is stories and excuses. "

"I call again on the two major parties to rise above the narrow political considerations and to form a unity government in favor of the people of Israel, and to stop the cynical accusations," Lieberman addressed Netanyahu and Gantz. "Dramatic decisions require broad national consensus, first and foremost in the Knesset, and if one really cares for the national and private interests there is no escape but to form a broad national government."

Tomorrow at midnight the Knesset will automatically dissipate and the State of Israel will run for the third time in a year. In blue and Likud, agreements reached on the March 2 elections reached as much as Cayman decided. This is a Monday week and not as is usually the case on Tuesday, since the original election date was scheduled for March 10, but as it is a Purim holiday, the factions sought to discuss an alternate date. In order to be ahead of the election date, Knesset members have begun the legislative process, under which a change in the Basic Law will take place.
