Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused a former senior Likud minister of trying to hurt him at a party in his office Wednesday night.
"I come here now, just amazing, I'm still excited, from a meeting with the Vice President of China - only the second most powerful man in China, and he's been here a few days and I've seen that the media doesn't care at all, "Netanyahu said.
He added that " for a few weeks now, I have known that a former Likud minister is talking to coalition elements and has devised some subversive maneuver, that I will bring the Likud to a landslide victory in the elections and then ensure that I will not be prime minister against the will of the Likud voters. I walked around the country and I see the tremendous support the people have in me, in my wife, a level of support I cannot remember since I entered politics, and as such this plan is doomed to failure because the public will not allow such a thing to happen."
