Head of the coalition, Likud MK Miki Zohar questioned Gideon Sa'ar's move to leave the Likud in favor of a new party - The New Hope.

"The only reason he formed the new party is his aspirations of becoming prime minister couldn't wait any longer..."

"This is a passing phase and I'm sure the Likud will continue to thrive while other parties go the way they came," he said.
