While outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid was berating the "insane" government being formed by a "weak" Benjamin Netanyahu, two members of the departing coalition are reportedly creating a "total war" plan, designed to sow division in the new government and slow down or halt its planned legislation.
Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc won a solid 64-seat Knesset majority after the final votes were tallied Thursday in Israel's elections. Prime Minister Yair Lapid conceded defeat, as he ordered all the sectors of his government to prepare for a transfer of power.
The blame game began after it became clear on Wednesday afternoon that Balad was not going to pass the electoral threshold, thus ensuring a victory for the Right bloc led by Netanyahu.
