MK Ofer Shelah (Telem - Yesh Atid) called Blue and White's threats to quit the coalitionary talks with Netanyahu "idle threats,"
He said, "You're ridiculous. If you hadn't crawled into his lap, legislation [to prevent an MK awaiting trial for criminal charges] would already be in full swing. You've already surrendered and now you are asking for mercy and threatening an empty holster."
