Netanyahu calls for preserving government but says he’ll win elections

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells the Knesset he hopes the current government won’t break up over legislation exempting ultra-Orthodox students from military service, but will win the election if it does.

“If there are elections I will compete in them and win. But we’re not there yet,” he says.

“We need to make a last push to preserve the government in its current makeup,” he adds.
