Labor slams Netanyahu: ‘The show is over, take responsibility and resign’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Labor Party reiterates its call on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign in light of the corruption charges announced against him pending a hearing, after the premier’s defiant televised speech.
“The show is over,” the party says in a statement. “Netanyahu, that’s enough. You are embarrassing us. Take responsibility and resign. The Israeli nation doesn’t want a corrupt leadership.
“Fight your battle as a private citizen. Don’t embarrass the office of the prime minister.”
The left-wing Meretz party asks the Elections Committee to prevent future live broadcast of Netanyahu’s statement, claiming it amounts to “20 minutes of Likud election propaganda.”
