Member of Knesset David Bitan (Likud) told Galei Tzahal radio Thursday morning, "Everyone will have back down [from their demands] to prevent elections for the third time.

The former coalition chairman explained that a unity government on the Blue and White Party's terms won't go. He said Likud would not agree to a Blue and White being the first party to lead the government, given the corruption charges Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu faces. He claimed, "if the Likud establishes a first government, the crumbling Blue and White will not stay together."
