A close associate of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said, Thursday, "Gideon Sa'ar's hysterical reaction and his anti-Netanyahu remarks only prove what all the facts show: Gideon Sa'ar is a subversive who tried to oust Prime Minister Netanyahu against the wishes of the Likud voters."
The associate continued, "His lust for power led him not to be cautious in recent weeks, when he spoke with ministers and Knesset members, and revealed his plot to oust Netanyahu, after the prime minister leads the Likud to victory in the elections."
