Yamina party leader Ayelet Shaked denies telling the Kipa news site there is a possibility to form a government that would not include Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party.

“I would like to clarify, the publication on the Kipa website isn’t true, the things weren’t said by me, the article was removed,” she tweets.

“We’re committed to the 55 [seat] bloc on the hope that a right-wing or unity government will be established,” she adds.

Shortly after her tweet, the quote about a possible unity government without Likud was removed from the interview with Kipa. The news site doesn’t issue any clarification or correction explaining why the quote was removed.
