TEL AVIV (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 19th November, 2018) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the country cannot hold early election over security issues and called on coalition partners to prevent the government from dissolution.
On Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman announced his resignation and withdrawal of his right-wing Yisrael Beiteinu party from the ruling coalition after a sharp disagreement over a Gaza ceasefire deal.
"I would like to say that now, when we are witnessing one of the most difficult periods in terms of security, we cannot topple the government and hold early election. That is irresponsible. We have a year before the election ... I hope that all our partners will act responsibly, will not seek dissolution of the government and will work for the benefit of the state of Israel and its security," Netanyahu said.
