Likud MK Gilad Erdan said on Sunday that his party didn't need Kadima as part of a Likud-led coalition.
"We will be happy to form a government of 65 without them. If they keep playing poker in hopes of getting a rotation, we will form a government without them," he said.
Reacting to Kadima's statements according to which Kadima should form the new government, Erdan rebutted Kadima leader Tzipi Livni's claim she should form the government since her party garnered a seat more than the Likud.
"I am sorry that the foreign minister continues to mislead the public. A clear majority of the public chose the parties of the nationalist camp and Netanyahu to form the government. We live in a parliamentary democracy and whoever has a majority in the public has a majority in the nation," said Erdan.
"Kadima's attempt to get a rotation is an attempt to steal the will of the public and get a prime minister for two years the public didn't want," he added.
