The chairman of the “New Hope” party, Gideon Saar, today (Tuesday) attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with the Knesset channel. State, Reuven Ruby Rivlin: “One of the most embarrassing positions of prime minister ever in the State of Israel. To stand and lie in this way, and even later to connect the President of the State of Israel to this event, is embarrassing. “

Saar added that “this was a move by Mr. Netanyahu that I was anxious to return. It is in my eyes a slump. By the way, I am just working the opposite. When I was in favor of Ruby (Rivlin)’s election to the presidency, I did it openly against Netanyahu. “It is openly, and when I decided that I should go and ask for the trust of the people of Israel, I do it today. I do not believe in other politics.”
Saar also referred for the first time to the relationship he would forge with the Biden administration if elected prime minister: “I believe the relationship between us and the US should be fortified in a good and balanced relationship along with the two major parties, both Republican and Democratic. I can do a better job in front of the new administration. I have no precipitation with the new president in Biden. “The way to influence American policy on the Iranian issue is through effective and good dialogue with the new American administration.”
On a possible alliance with Bennett before the election, Saar said: “I am not entirely convinced that walking together will give more. It is very important to understand that these alliances in our political history have not succeeded.” On Bennett’s failure not to sit down with Netanyahu, he said: “It is impossible to have both baldness and curls.”
