Netanyahu: No doubt elections are on the way unless Blue and White changes approach

In a sign of the nearing of the long-expected fall of the government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there is “no doubt that elections are on the way” if the agreements between coalition parties are not kept.

“When agreements are not respected on the part of Blue and White, there is no doubt that we are on the way to elections,” he says in response to a question about the snowballing rift between his Likud party and its coalition partner.

“If we see a different approach from the Blue and White direction and cooperation within the government, we can continue to work together. If not, everyone can understand that this leads to elections,” the prime minister says, blaming Benny Gantz’s party for the breakdown in relations within the coalition.
