Liberman claims Likud ‘praying’ Netanyahu ousted after September elections
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman claims that Likud lawmakers are “praying” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again fails to form a government after the September elections so that they can replace him, according to the Ynet news site.
The report says Liberman told members of his party at a closed-door meeting that he met with Knesset members, mayors and central committee members from the ruling party to discuss Netanyahu’s tenure coming to an end.
“They believe at least two-thirds of the Likud faction is praying Netanyahu doesn’t get 61 seats [in the Knesset, the minimum required to form a majority government],” he told Yisrael Beytenu lawmakers according to Ynet.
