Opposition Leader Tzipi Livni said, Tuesday, that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu "is afraid to go to elections because he is afraid to lose. He says so himself."

Speaking at the Eilat Journalists' Conference, the Zionist Union Knesset member said, "Explain why half a year ago, Netanyahu stood at the Knesset podium and said, 'Let's go to elections,' and now, with his back to the wall and says, 'Just no elections.'"
