Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu held a live broadcast on his Facebook page in which he referred to his request to the heads of the Labor Party to join his government before the decision to dissolve the Knesset.
He said that he approached MKs Avi Gabbay and Tal Russo, after Avigdor Liberman prevented the establishment of a government. "The plan was to establish a right-wing government anyway because I kept all the right-wing parties in the coalition," Netanyahu said.
