Speaking at the plenary debate before the first reading of the bill to disperse the Knesset and set elections for March 2, Yisrael Beytenu MK Hamad Amar says that the Likud never really wanted a unity government and that “the party has one goal: to get to 61 without Blue and White or Yisrael Beytenu and to go for immunity.”

“It reminds me of the phrase, ‘I am the state and the state is me,'” he says, criticizing Netanyahu’s alleged efforts to seek parliamentary immunity to avoid prosecution in the criminal cases against him.

“And Blue and White,” Amar adds, “I can’t understand you. Three chiefs of staff weren’t able to sit down and make concessions to form a unity government? Shame on all of you!”
