Minister Aryeh Deri told Arutz Sheva that the chances of forming a government had been exhausted because Yisrael Beytenu rejected any compromise proposal.

"I suggested that the haredim not enter the government and only support it from the outside until there is a solution and Liberman will join - but he rejected this, too. I apologize to the prime minister, I was wrong. Apparently I do not know Liberman," said Deri.
