Sa'ar: No chance of unity government without Netanyahu

Senior Likud MK Gideon Sa'ar told Ynet on Wednesday that there is no scenario in which that Likud will join a national unity government without Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Sa'ar said the allegation made by Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz that there will be elements in Likud who could be persuaded to oust the prime minister was wrong and that Likud has shown unity of purpose and loyalty at the worst of times.

Gantz told a campaign rally Tuesday that if elected after the September 17 ballot, he would form a liberal national unity government with Likud and any Zionist party that shares his political agenda. Blue and White has said in the past that it will not serve in a government with Netanyahu while he has three corruption cases pending against him.
