Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetanyahu claims any government that is formed without him as prime minister will quickly collapse, resulting in yet another round of elections.
“We can’t go to fifth elections,” he says.
Netanyahu hints he may try to pick off candidates from other parties to reach a majority, after speaking with the heads of right-wing and religious factions.
