The party claims - this is how the MK missed the appointment he wanted:
a senior Likud official told Israel Hayom that "Dudi Amsalem did not get the position of Speaker of the Knesset only because he issued an ultimatum."
"Netanyahu wanted to give him the position, but the placing of the ultimatum left him no choice," said the same source.
"It is impossible to threaten and accept. Netanyahu did not give in to ultimatums. Amsalem issued an ultimatum and did not accept. Danny Danon issued an ultimatum and did not accept. Israel Katz did not speak, did not utter a word and did not threaten and was offered the foreign portfolio."
"Katz did not threaten and was offered the foreign portfolio."

At the meeting to approve MK Amir Ohana's candidacy for Speaker of the Knesset, MK Amsalem, who did not get what he requested to be Speaker of the Knesset or Minister of Justice, asked to speak.
Yariv Levin asked him to finish his words and Amsalam thus, according to those present at the yeshiva, shouted in the direction of Netanyahu and Levin, "Let me speak, don't do whatever you want here."
The spirits heated up and Amsalem and David Bitan attacked MK Yoav Kish who also tried to provoke them and told him "sit quietly, who are you anyway".
One of those present at the yeshiva told Israel Hayom: "It was a very tense yeshiva. You can't stretch people for two months, not talk to them, not give them positions and at the last minute think that everyone will align. This is not a party of one chairman who decides everything , we were elected in the primaries, there is democracy here."
