'The only consideration is Israel's national interest'

Prime Minister's Binyamin Netanyahu’s Office responded on Sunday night to a statement made by a senior Israeli official to Arutz Sheva, who said that early elections in Israel would lead to a significant postponement in the publication of the US administration's peace plan for Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA).

"The prime minister does not know when the American plan will be presented, and when it is presented, the only considerations he will have are the national interests, first and foremost the security of Israel," Netanyahu's office said.
