Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu responded this morning (Friday) to reports in the media of an ongoing conflict between Jewish Home and the Likud.
The media that is entrenched on the Left is trying to manufacture the fictitious image of a split developing within the nationalist camp in order to drive a wedge between us and allow them to coronate Herzog and Livni after the election," the Prime Minister posted to his Facebook page. "But Jewish Home will be the senior partner in the next government, in defiance of those who want to see two medium-sized rightist parties in the opposition and an extreme leftist government in power."
The Prime Minister added, "The Likud and Jewish Home parties have a longstanding shared ideology based upon the principles of love of country, and protecting the security of our children."
