The Blue & White party responded to Prime Minister Netanyahu, who on Thursday slammed Avigdor Liberman against the backdrop of the Knesset's dispersal.

"The citizens of Israel know and understand that Bibi has failed a painful failure and is trying to find out who to blame - this time it's Liberman," they said in Blue & White. "Netanyahu prevented the president from putting up another candidate from Likud or Blue and White.

''Why? In order to continue to escape the fear of justice. Which for him, is Bibi before everything! The citizens of Israel do not interest him. He is dragging the State of Israel to an unprecedented low, just to be saved from the bench," they added.
