A senior member of the Yamina party responded to complaints from the Likud party that Yamina, with just 6 seats, is demanding 3 ministries in the unity government currently under formation.
"In 2009, Bibi [PM Netanyahu] wiped the floor with the National Union party," he said, "and even after they recommended him to form a government, he threw them into the opposition and gave 4 ministries to the Independence party then headed by Ehud Barak, which had just 5 seats," he said.
