Legal officials say Netanyahu’s push to call off elections is a ‘spin’ — report

Senior legal sources quoted by Channel 13 news say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s push to cancel the September elections “seems like a spin,” indicating the plan is likely to face significant legal hurdles.

The TV channel even cites sources within Netanyahu’s Likud party as saying the chances for the vote actually being called off are slim.

Some pundits claim the whole move is only designed to garner media attention in an attempt to place the blame for the unpopular new elections on the rival Blue and White party.
