Ariel mayor Eli Shviro has called on PM Netanyahu and Alternate PM Benny Gantz to reach a compromise in order to avert new elections.
"We must not cause a colossal waste of public money by going to elections at this point in time," he said. "The people will not forgive you if you drag the country into yet another round of elections that will in all likelihood result in exactly the same political situation in which we currently find ourselves.
"This is the time for displaying true leadership, for showing a united front, for fulfilling the promises made in the coalition agreements," he added. "This is a time when you should be concerning yourselves with the health of the citizens of this country, and with all the other burning issues of the day."
