After ultimatum to Netanyahu, Jewish Home party calls closed faction meeting

The Jewish Home party says its faction will convene at 6:30 p.m. (Israel time) for a closed meeting at the Knesset following Avigdor Liberman’s resignation as defense minister, the Ynet website reports.

The religious right-wing party has issued an ultimatum to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying it will quit the coalition and topple the government if party chief Naftali Bennett isn’t appointed as Liberman’s successor.
