(Worthy News) – If Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Lieberman pulls out of the coalition, there will be no choice but to hold early elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Likud ministers on Sunday.
Though a 61-seat coalition in a 120 MK parliament would still constitute a majority, “61 is not an option,” Netanyahu said.
