Backing Netanyahu, FM Katz breaks silence on Likud primary

Foreign Minister Katz, who has so far refrained from weighing in on the question of a leadership primary in Likud, tweets his support for Netanyahu.

Recent reports constitute “a bizarre media attempt to distort reality and label me as a ‘silent one,'” he says.

“From the outset I expressed my unreserved support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as Likud’s candidate for prime minister in the event that another Knesset election is held, and against efforts to oust him by holding early primaries,” Katz adds.
