Machane Tzioni MK Tzipi Livni, a former Foreign Minister, spoke out Thursday 11 Iyar for the first time regarding the expected new coalition that will include Yisrael Beitenu. Livni accuses Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of acting “selfishly and cunningly” in his dealings, “preferring to select extremism and nationalism over democracy and moderation. Netanyahu does what is good for him and to hell with national defense” she wrote on her Facebook page.
She adds “History will never forgive Netanyahu for the damage he is causing Israel”, after a week of self-imposed silence as negotiations involved her party entering the coalition as well. Livni was among the party’s leading figures opposed to entering into the coalition, which she viewed as throwing a life preserver to the Prime Minister, preferring to remain in opposition until the collapse of the government and then head to elections.
