Senior Likud Party member Gid'on Saar wrote on Twitter, Sunday evening, "On the eve of critical elections for the Likud and the state, I will act like a resonsible adult. I will not be dragged into an internal war inside the house."
Responding to an accusation by Prime Minister and Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu that Saar sought the task of forming the government instead of Netanyahu, the former minister explained, "Unfortunately, two days before the primaries, the prime minister chose to try and recycle the false plot that he made heard for the first time a few months ago. The goal is transparent: an attempt to hurt me in the primaries. Likud members are wise and know very well that the words are baseless."
