Deri says going to elections over broadcaster ‘unforgiveable’

Interior Minister Aryeh Deri tells Channel 2 it would be “unforgivable to head to elections over the broadcaster.”

He says he spoke with coalition party leaders, including Liberman and Bennett on Sunday. The Shas minister says when Netanyahu returns from China on Thursday, the coalition leaders will meet and “we won’t leave the room until a solution is found.”

“The people of Israel will not forgive us for going to elections” over this issue, the minister says.
