PM loyalist says no chance third elections will be avoided

Likud MK Miki Zohar tells the Kan public broadcaster that there is no chance that a compromise deal will be reached between Likud and Blue and White before the midnight deadline to prevent the year’s third election.

“At midnight, we’ll be heading to elections,” Zohar says.

Asked about the possibility of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requesting parliamentary immunity from prosecution in the three criminal cases he is facing, Zohar says there would be “nothing more statesmanly than asking for immunity,” arguing that it would be within the confines of the law.
