MK Nir Barkat (Likud) criticized Gideo Sa'ar in an interview to Galei Tzahal saying, "the failed coup d'etat in Likud, there will not be primaries until 21 days has passed. Sa'ar should be ashamed, he is attempting to oust a current PM.
Barkat, added, that the Ministers Gilad Arden and Hami Katz and Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein all support the PM, "it's a difficult time, but I believe that most will support the PM."
