Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday sought to assure worried members of his Likud party that he is not going anywhere.

Speaking at the Likud Central Committee meeting, where members of the party approved its joint election list with Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beytenu, Netanyahu said, "I have been hearing talk about heirs. Well, I have news for you: I'm going to continue to lead the State of Israel for many years and the Likud will continue to lead the State of Israel for many more years."
