Israeli parliament speaker denied anti-Benjamin Netanyahu alliance a vote to oust him to end the 12-year-rule of the Likud party and telling lawmakers that the vote will be held next week.
Politicians swapped bitter accusations of undermining the political process after Netanyahu accused his foes of “the greatest election fraud” in the history of democracy.
Speaking after security services issued a rare warning against incitement online, centrist Yair Lapid, said calls to “violence and incitement against Knesset members” are “against the very essence of the democratic process”.
The architect of the fragile eight-party alliance seeking to oust Netanyahu added that “the past few days proved how much we need change”.
