Labor party leader says PM’s indictments ‘are why no government was established’

Labor-Gesher leader Amir Peretz claims Benjamin Netanyahu’s legal woes was the reason efforts to form a coalition failed.

“Netanyahu’s indictments are why no government was established in Israel,” he says. “In a democracy we cannot tolerate a prime minister under indictment. The political crisis in Israel is only because of his indictments. If we can prevent Netanyahu from grabbing the horns of the altar, we will prevent the third elections in under a year.”
