Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu called a press conference Wednesday aimed at introducing the party's immigrants' headquarters to the press, ahead of the nearing general elections.
"I will not accept this situation," he told Ynet. "I can’t think of any other country that would do nothing when faced with constant rocket fire. We have to go from a policy of compliance to one of assault. We have to restore our national pride.
"The current situation in unbearable and we will change that. The resident of southern Israel will not abide having an Iranian base in the Negev," he said.
Referring back to the Likud's aspiration within the immigrant community, Netanyahu said that "we care about the immigrants not just when in comes to the elections, but when it comes to the leadership of this country, as well."
