Public Diplomacy Minister Galit Distel Atbaryan calls on any Likud colleagues who support halting the judicial overhaul legislation to quit.
Her comments come amid reports that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant will make such a call in a statement later this evening. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to speak after him.
“All Likud MKs who are planning to stop the legislation are invited to resign. Preferably today, even better if it is right now,” she tweets.
Distel Atbaryan says to support halting the overhaul would betray the mandate Likud got from its voters.
