Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the Likud Center conference where members will vote on Gideon Sa'ar's return to the party, saying that "Likud represents masses in the State of Israel and brings together all members of the national camp. We are subjected to propaganda and brainwashing campaigns funded by a billion dollars from governments and various organizations, whose sole purpose is to topple the right-wing government and replace it with a left-wing government that will open the door to a Palestinian state." According to him, "they haven't learned anything. What's the difference between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas? Just the method."
