Israel Matzav: Netanyahu tries to recruit Livni again

Netanyahu tries to recruit Livni again

I guess this was expected and now that it may be the only way to save her party, Livni might actually agree to it.

Netanyahu told Livni that a national unity government would be based in "peace and security," as the prime minister outlined in his Bar Ilan speech and that today "represent broad national consensus."

Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar called on Livni and the Kadima party "to show national responsibility" and acquiesce to the prime minister's invitation in order to better face "heavy national, social and security challenges."

The only thing I want from Livni is to behave like a loyal opposition (as Netanyahu did during the Second Lebanon War) when Israel has to attack Iran. But please, don't make her part of the government. We've been there and done that.

If Kadima joins the government, look for Jewish Home, United Torah Judaism and possibly Yisrael Beiteinu to leave, and look for a government that is a lot more generous to the 'Palestinians' than even this government has been.

What could go wrong?
