MK Eli Avidar (Yisrael Beytenu), commenting on the departure of MK Zoabi from the coalition just minutes ago, described the consequences for the government as he sees it.
"Heads of this coalition for change: I have been trying to pass certain laws, and people kept telling me, 'What's the rush? Why now?' Now look what's happened. A Meretz Knesset member from our side is about to return to Netanyahu.
"Like I said: We ate the rotten fish, we lost public trust, and we were driven out of town. We'll take it from here."
