Yesha leader: Lack of Support for Likud Could Lead to 2nd Oslo

The nationalist camp’s harsh criticism of Prime Minister  Netanyahu could lead to a second Oslo, says Dani Dayan, who recently stepped down as head of the Yesha (Judea and Samaria) Council.

“We [Nationalists] brought Oslo on ourselves,” Dayan told Arutz 7. “We’re likely to make the same mistakes today.” 

“The residents’ committees have been publishing movies that compare Netanyahu to Arik Sharon…. I’m afraid of where this will lead us,” he said. “Yes, three houses were destroyed in Migron, I was there and I cried together with the families, but when they say that because of what happened in Migron Tzipi Livni is preferable [to Netanyahu] – that will bring the Left to power.”

Dayan said he believes the right should demonstrate their strong support for Likud.

“First of all, it’s not clear that Netanyahu will be reelected,” he warned. “I see all the president’s warning signals, I see Diskin’s attempts at a putsch…  I see Left’s attempts to form a large bloc and that still might happen after the elections.”

Dayan pointed to "look at results, today after four years, this government had a building push both in the settlement blocs and deeper in… Despite the awful Bar Ilan speech, the results show that a Palestinian state looks farther off,” he argued.

“We have to act wisely, and to do everything we can so that Benjamin Netanyahu will continue as Prime Minister,” Dayan concluded.
