Regional Cooperation Minister Tzachi Hanegbi said, Monday, "The people have to decide who is the leadership that is about to decide on its achievements and its policies."
Interviewed by Israeli public radio regarding the just-declared early elections, the senior Likud member said, "We would like to form a broad government, with forces from the center, not just from the right. We are going to modest elections. We are not dictating to the voter what the outcome is."
