Herzog: PM chose own interests over those of the state

Herzog slams Netanyahu for choosing to bring Liberman into the coalition over his own Zionist Union party and the chance for a renewed peace process.

Netanyahu made his choice on whether “to swim against the tide or go with it,” Herzog says. He accuses the prime minister of “closing the door” on moderate Arab leaders and European leaders, which he says will lead Israel to “disaster.”

“I am sorry that you chose to place your own political interests above those of the state,” he says.
