Housing Minister Uri Ariel said this morning that he is not sure that the government will finish its term, despite what Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has declared. Interviewed by public radio's Reshet Bet, Ariel said, "At the moment, no one desires elections, but anyone who counts on Netanyahu's statement about elections in 2019 is wrong."
Ariel added he was not convinced that Netanyahu was interested in transferring the United States embassy to Jerusalem at this time, saying "I was left with a question mark about what was said at Netanyahu's and Trump's meeting about the transfer of the American embassy."
