Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein responded to a Kann News report that MKs in the Likud and senior constituents in Judea and Samaria are exerting pressure on him to start recruiting 61 signatures himself to form a government headed by him.

"These days I only focus on one thing - establishing a government and preventing further, unnecessary, costly, and irresponsible elections, and no incorrect statement will divert from that goal," Edelstein said.
