Member of Knesset David Bitan (Likud) said on Tuesay that MK Yair Lapid will take his Yesh Atid faction and split from the Blue and White Party before the September 17th Knesset elections and run alongside Chairman Avigdor Liberman of the Yisrael Beytenu Party
Interviewed by Galei Yisrael radio, the former coalition chairman added, "Liberman will not make such moves without a golden parachute. I see that they are attacking Lapid in Blue and White. It will be very difficult to form a government with Liberman. From my point of view he is not rightwing for the purpose of calculating the coalition."
