Netanyahu confident Likud will regain power

Bibi says warnings that unilateral withdrawals threaten Israel's security have been proven true, as evident in latest attack in Gaza and along northern border
|
Opposition leader and Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu told party members on Sunday that he is confident the party will regain power.
"The Likud is on the right path. It is just a matter of short time until the country is on the right path," he said.
Last week Likud party members held a toast to the party and northern communities who suffered during 34 days of fighting against Hizbullah.
On Sunday, a similar toast was held in Sderot to show support with communities affected by rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu said the gatherings were held to "salute residents in both places. Likud is returning to development towns, we will assist these municipalities and we are capable of a revolution. I am optimistic that only we are capable of changing the regime in the country."
Likud MKs who took to the podium sounded upbeat over the party's chances of regaining power in the next elections.
'Our ranks are open to all'
MK Yuval Steinitz said: "The Egyptians are not trust worthy. They are allowing the smuggling of arms to Hamas as Syria is assisting Hizbullah in the north."
Netanyahu said the public is becoming more aware of the security threats facing Israel. "We said that a policy of unilateral withdrawals brings terror closer to us and unfortunately it has become clear that we were right," he said.
He lauded the party's members, saying "Likud is the party with the fullest transparency. Our ranks are open to all," he said.
MK Moshe Kahlon said that a social forum will be launched in Likud to discuss the country's endemic poverty.
