National Unity’s Gideon Sa’ar, the former justice minister, says the coalition’s rejection of the plan “is evidence of a failure of leadership and historic short-sightedness.

“The president’s plan in its entirety is broad, balanced and fundamentally decent,” he says.

“Full responsibility will be placed on those who miss the opportunity to prevent a severe rift in the people at this fateful hour.”
