Chairman Amir Peretz of the Labor-Gesher Party told public radio, Tuesday morning, "The one who is guilty of [causing] this third election campaign is [Yisrael Beytenu Party Chairman Avigdor] Liberman, who did not intend to stand alongside [Blue and White Party Chairman Benny] Gantz in the first place. He tried to play a game between the two parties [Likud and Blue and White -ed.]."
On the possibility of joining a unity government headed by [Prime Minister and Likud Chairman Binyamin] Netanyahu, Peretz made it clear, "We will only join the government after the rotation phase."
