Netanyahu said to warn coalition partners against seeking his removal

Channel 10 reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working hard to shore up his political position in order to weather the storm of the latest graft allegations in the Case 4000 investigation.

According to the report, Netanyahu has conveyed to the heads of other parties in his ruling coalition that if they try to force him to resign or suspend himself ahead of a possible indictment, he will call early elections.

Polls by both Likud’s internal pollster and Channel 10 all suggest Likud would win the election, a fact that gives Netanyahu’s threat credibility.
