Memeber of Knesset and leader of Labor-Gesher, Itzik Shmuli, responded to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's statement against a government with the support of the Arab parties.

"I would like a prime minister who is willing to do everything for Israels citizens and not one who is willing to burn everything in order to save himself. Bibi's paranoia is driving him to insanity. It's time to go. An alternative government is preferable than 3rd elections and will be able to pull Israel out of the crises that it currently finds itself in."
