Former Knesset Speaker said in an interview with the press: “It is possible to form a good and stable government, even in the current Knesset” • “If Netanyahu fails to form a government in the current Knesset – the Likud should hold primaries”
Number 2 on the Likud’s list for the Knesset, MK Yuli Edelstein, said tonight (Saturday) in an interview with the ‘Meet the Press’ program on News 12 that if opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu fails to form a government in the current Knesset, the Likud should hold primaries for the party leadership. .

“I don’t usually get into fights that I don’t think I can win,” Edelstein noted. “I think the State of Israel does not need two things: one is the continued existence of the current government and the other is elections. It is possible to form a good, stable government, even in the current Knesset. “
Edelstein added: “The Likud could have held primaries for the leadership of the movement and we really did not need elections then. If Netanyahu knows how to form a government in the current Knesset, I will certainly not stand in his way because I said that the State of Israel does not need elections. And if not – then there should be a contest for the leadership of the movement. In a few weeks, it will be possible to hold primaries for the leadership of the movement – it is not such a big challenge. “
Edelstein reiterated that if Netanyahu can form a government, he will not stand in his way. “The good of the state, headed by the Likud, will be someone who knows how to form the coalition that will run the state. I think with the experience I have and my abilities and the proven things I have done I can be the right person to do it. ”
Netanyahu’s calls to vote for religious Zionism in the last election – Edelstein said: “When I stand at the head of the Likud, I will call on everyone to vote for the Likud. I do not know another election campaign says you as the head of Party A mean to vote for Party B. There is simply no game and such a thing. That is why I think the Likud as a party and movement can strengthen and bring quite a few votes and form a broad government. “
