While Fighting to defend Israel's interest ,PM netanyahu faces rebellion from Likud MK's at the rump

While Fighting to defend Israel's interest, getting broad support from the Public, assuring the security of Israel, The PM gets little support at Home, actually he has the support of Ya'alon,Begin and Saar and all the ministers that understand the consequences and the threats facing Israel , and intend to give all their support to the PM in these difficult times.

(Jpost).A long-awaited rebellion against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu by Likud MKs began to emerge on Monday when a group of hawks inside his faction sent him a letter urging him to build in Judea and Samaria and not to agree to the formation of a Palestinian state.

MK Tzipi Hotovely initiated the letter a day after Netanyahu told the cabinet that his government had brought about a consensus on the need for two states for two peoples. Channel 2 reported that half of the Likud faction had signed the letter. The signatories include deputy minister Ayoub Kara and Danny Danon, Miri Regev, Tzion Pinyan, Carmel Shama and Yariv Levin.

"We Likud MKs are turning to you due to reports that you would agree to freeze settlement growth temporarily in parts of Judea and Samaria, despite our promise to the voters to continue building in the settlements," the MKs wrote in the letter. "The Likud has always been in favor of natural development in Judea and Samaria, including during the election campaign."

The MKs lashed out at Netanyahu for supporting the creation of a Palestinian state: "As Likud members, we cannot support a two state solution on principle," the MKs wrote. "[Such a solution] is neither possible, nor proper, due to the moral right of the Jewish people to the land and for security reasons. Saying otherwise delegitimizes the Israeli struggle for the land."
