Likud MK Gideon Sa’ar addressed the head of Likud Central Committee MK Haim Katz on Sunday asking to convene the Likud and to set primaries for the leadership before the end of the 21-day-period where the mandate to form a government is possible by an MK harnessing enough support to present to President Reuven Rivlin a majority of 61 MKs to form a government. In his appeal, Sa’ar stressed that this move could have the power to prevent a third election, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also described as “systemic madness” only a few days ago. In his request, Sa’ar claimed that the vote needs to happen as soon as possible because it is still possible to form a government and put an end to the political stalemate. Sa’ar had previously announced his intention to challenge Netanyahu for the leadership of the party, stating that he would be able to reunite the country. “I think I can form a government easily and unite the people,” Sa’ar said on Saturday. “Maybe others think they can too.” “It’s unfortunate to see that while the Prime Minister Netanyahu protects Israel’s security on all fronts and acts to keep the Likud in power, Gideon Sa’ar, as usual, shows zero loyalty and maximum subversion,” Netanyahu’s spokesman responded to Sa’ar’s remarks.
