Amid continued threats on lawmakers within the coalition for change to vote against the new government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he condemns all forms of incitement and violence, but added that "incitement against us [the right-wing bloc] is also rampant."
Speaking at a Likud faction meeting in Knesset, the primer vowed that if the government formed by Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid and Yamina head Naftali Bennett does come to fruition, he will "bring it down very quickly."
Netanyahu again denied he ever offered the Islamist Ra'am party a position or legislation to join a government with him.
