Likud Mks act to prevent unity coalition

New Likud MK Dudi Amsalem and four other MKs call for an immediate Likud faction meeting to prevent the establishment of a unity government with Zionist Union, Ynet reports.

Amsalem and four others turned to Likud faction chairman Ze’ev Elkin and called on him to immediately convene the Likud’s MKs. Amsalem is also working in other party institutions, especially the Likud’s Central Committee, in order to issue a concerted and clear call to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to consider a unity coalition. The MKs decided to act before the prime minister makes public his decision on the issue, and reminded the prime minister that he must fulfill Likud’s pledge to the voters – a “national camp” government.

The MKs asked Netanyahu to remember that he said “there is an ideological abyss between us and them [Zionist Union],” during one of his interviews before the election.
