Begin rejects Livni statements: Majority of voters want Netanyahu as PM

Bennie Begin, number 5 on Likud's Knesset slate, on Sunday dismissed remarks made earlier by Kadima leader Tzipi Livni, who said that her party had won the election and should be tasked with forming a coalition.

"Things are clear," Begin said. "Everyone understands that 65 MKs were voted in by voters who wanted Netanyahu to be prime minister."
