The Yisrael Beiteinu party responded to Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu's attack on Avigdor Liberman.

"Netanyahu failed to form a government and is looking for who to blame. This does not change the fact that the sole responsibility for the new election is the Likud alone. Netanyahu is pressured and again he is spreading lies, "Yisrael Beiteinu said.

"In contrast, Liberman has always kept his principles as in the disengagement government from which Liberman resigned and Netanyahu voted in favor, and as he left Netanyahu's government after the latter did not allow him to subdue Hamas," they added in Liberman's party.
