Livni: I hope this is the last government in which Netanyahu is PM

Opposition chief Tzipi Livni is up next.

“I hope this is the last government in which Benjamin Netanyahu is the prime minister of Israel. This is not a personal issue, it’s a national issue,” she says. “Instead of waiting for criminal proceedings, I am lodging an indictment of the public.”

She is lashing Netanyahu for his “whining” and asks, “Are you interested in anything other than what they write about you? Security, perhaps?”

Netanyahu is seen smiling.

She accuses Netanyahu of turning Israel’s media into a mouthpiece, leading Israel to annexation of West Bank lands and creating a Muslim majority, and of “tearing the Declaration of Independence to shreds.”

Accusing Netanyahu of “incitement” for “cynical” political gain, she says: “You are causing people to hate one another.”

Livni says she is representing thousands of Israelis who are branded traitors by the Israeli government for their views.

“It’s not loyalty to the state that you want, it’s loyalty to you,” she says to Netanyahu.
