Derech Eretz party gives itself pat on back for preventing elections
The Derech Eretz party is cheering its efforts to prevent a fourth round of elections. Party member Zvi Hauser had proposed the budget extension that was eventually accepted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz as a compromise to their political standoff.

“We prevented elections. Again,” the two-man party tweets.
