Likud responded to reports that the prime minister does not rule out the possibility of going to a third round of elections.
"Prime Minister Netanyahu does not rule out a coalition with any Zionist party, so there is no reason or desire to go for further elections. At this time, the State of Israel needs a strong Zionist government and not a government that relies on Arab parties or further elections."
"Now that we have formed the right-wing bloc, we will turn to all the Zionist parties in the coming days and start immediate negotiations," the Likud said.
