Netanyahu to opposition: Simmer down, I’m not going anywhere
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA grinning Netanyahu dismisses allegations against him at a Likud faction meeting, telling fellow lawmakers, the gathered press and the wider public they should stop trying to torpedo his rule via allegations of a conflict of interest regarding a multi-billion shekel submarine deal with a German firm.
“You can calm down, I’ll be here a long time,” he says, apparently addressing opposition Knesset members.
He then seems to challenge them to a duel of democracy.
“Present your positions to the public, we will present our positions and achievements and the public will decide. That’s how democracy works,” he says.
New elections are not scheduled for another three years.
