Bennett: If Netanyahu can’t build coalition, I’ll try to form a unity government
(Worthy News) – With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to form a coalition still in dire straits Wednesday, he and Yamina party chief Naftali Bennett held dueling press conferences in which they accused each other of putting their own personal interests above the needs of the country, and of misleading the public.
Speaking first in a prime time address as the country’s three major new networks held their evening broadcasts, Bennett tore into Netanyahu for “holding the country hostage” and being willing to keep the country in a perpetual cycle of elections. A short time later, the prime minister charged that the Yamina head had cut a deal to serve as a fig leaf prime minister for a left-wing government.
Bennett said that while he continued to support Netanyahu’s efforts to form a right-wing government, if he could not do so in the final two weeks of his mandate, Bennett will work to build a “national unity government” — presumably one that would leave Likud in the opposition.
