The chairman of the Zionist Union, Avi Gabbay, opened the faction meeting and said, "I agree with the prime minister: the time has come for elections."
"Let's face it, the government of Israel and the Knesset are already running in an atmosphere of elections and election economics, and we all see that oil is already poured on the floor and the only question left is who will drop the match that will ignite the system and bring about elections."
