Likud’s No. 2 says party will stick by Netanyahu, come what may
Likud MK and Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein says that the party will stick by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regardless of the election results.
“Likud is a united party and will continue to be so. Likud is the only democratic party in the political system, headed by an elected leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,” the party’s No. 2 tells reporters at Likud’s election results event.
“I urge other party leaders not to try to determine who will be our leader — any such attempt will not succeed. Unity is the secret of the Likud’s power over the years and it will continue to be so in every situation.”
