PM associate: 'Sa'ar tried to oust Prime Minister Netanyahu'

A close associate of Prime Minister Netanyahu accused Thursday former interior minister Gideon Sa'ar of scheming to remove Netanyahu from office.

"Gideon Sa'ar's hysterical reaction and his bitter remarks against Prime Minister Netanyahu only prove what facts show: Gideon Sa'ar is a subversive politician who tried to oust Prime Minister Netanyahu against the wishes of the Likud voters," Netanyahu's associate said.
