(Globes).After receiving the report by his 100-days staff, Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu said today, "I have no doubt that we'll lead a responsible economic policy. There is an economic price for a stable and large government, but the price of not establishing a strong and stable government is so great and catastrophic, in both financial terms and in jobs, that the cost of establishing a coalition is negligible."
Netanyahu added, "I'm sure that we'll establish a government next week, and we'll get to work quickly. We didn’t just come to sit around, but we'll work for the good of the country.
"We're in the midst of very severe economic crisis. It will take time to turn things around, but we must immediately reverse the trend in order to limit, to the best of our ability, the loss of jobs and to ensure the country's economic future. National soundness depends on economic soundness."
Netanyahu continued, "As for the US, our relations are strong and tight. The real pressure that we face is the pressure of violent extremism that seeks to obtain weapons of mass destruction that threaten Israel and the US. We must act together, and there's no doubt that we'll rebuff the dangers."
