Yisrael Beytenu chairman MK Avigdor Liberman addressed the failure of the coalition talks before he entered the Knesset plenum.
"Unfortunately, the State of Israel is going to elections because of the Likud's refusal to accept Yisrael Beytenu's proposal and to vote on the second and third readings of the Draft Law as it was in the first reading. We also agreed that the haredi Knesset members will not be present during the vote."
"All the other proposals are designed to attract time and dissolve the law. This is a total surrender by the Likud to the haredim. We are partners to a right-wing government, we will not be partners in a halakhic government," Liberman stressed.
