The message removed from Netanyahu's Facebook sparks anger: 'Whitewashed unity'

MK Yitzhak Kroizer (Otzma Yehudit) attacked Prime Minister Netanyahu for changing his Facebook cover photo from 'Right or Palestine' to 'Netanyahu fights for everyone', calling the unity call 'whitewashed'. According to him, a government with the opposition would be paralyzed. Likud and Yashar teams meet for talks.

Chairman of the Otzma Yehudit faction, MK Yitzhak Kroizer, attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the change of his Facebook cover photo. Instead of the caption 'Right or Palestine' that appeared during the election campaign, a photo was uploaded with the caption 'Netanyahu fights for everyone', alongside Netanyahu's calls for forming a national unity government. Kroizer expressed a 'deep sense of disappointment' and called the unity slogan 'whitewashed'. According to him, a government with the opposition would be paralyzed and devoid of a common ideological denominator. Kroizer addressed Netanyahu: 'If you choose to govern and not just hold on to power, Otzma Yehudit is behind you.' The response comes after Netanyahu called on Gadi Eisenkot to open negotiations for a unity government without preconditions, while Eisenkot dismissed the call as 'another spin'. Likud and Yashar teams meet today for talks.
