Angry Likud members who did not get top jobs lash out at Netanyahu

Incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing angry members of his party who did not get the top jobs in the new government that they were angling for.

Both David Amsalem and Danny Danon, who wanted the Knesset speaker position, shouted at Netanyahu during a Likud faction meeting.

Amsalem, who was told yesterday he would not get that post nor that of justice minister, shouted at Netanyahu, who tried to interrupt him.

“You won’t interrupt me, let me speak,” he shouted.

“You and he can’t do whatever you want,” he says angrily pointing at Yariv Levin, who will get the justice portfolio.

Dannon also rails at Netanyahu for not convening the Likud faction sooner, saying party MKs were not consulted on the coalition agreements with other parties.

“It’s a chutzpah that the faction was not convened sooner. It is not acceptable to me that you did whatever you wanted with the agreements,” he says.

Several other shouting matches erupt between Likud MKs.
