Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that left wing and
hareidi parties are plotting to bring about his downfall, and that only a
strong Likud Beitenu could prevent this from happening.
"There are contacts between three lists – Livni's, Lapid's and
Shelly's," Netanyahu said at a joint press conference with Avigdor
Lieberman for the Russian speaking public in Jerusalem. "These parties
have no common denominator. They come from the left side, but there is
no economic, social and diplomatic subject that connects between them,
other than the will and the aspiration to bring me down, and take Likud
Beytenu away from the seat of power."
"I know that there are even contacts and attempts to coordinate moves
between some of the leftist parties and the hareidi parties," Netanyahu
added.
"The administration of the national camp must not be endangered," he
said. "This would lead to more backsliding, to the division of
Jerusalem, and cause damage to the vital interests and security
interests of the citizens of Israel."
