Likud MK and former speaker of the Knesset, Micky Zohar, said new elections are "just a matter of time" after Meretz MK Ghaida Rinawie Zoabi joined Idit Silman's in bolting the coalition.
"The longer they remain in power, the better for us," said Zohar, adding: "The public is getting more and more fed up with them as time passes. They're returning to the true right and the Likud. We're approaching elections in leaps and bounds."
