Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explicitly called on Saturday for a unity government for the first time since the elections, saying, "This is the time for unity. This is the will of the people; this is the need of the hour. A government that relies on supporters of terror will not fight terror."
Netanyahu also claimed that Israel "would not survive" a government formed by the opposition along with "the Islamists," adding that such a government would "destroy Israel from within."
This is a developing story.
