(Flash90) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Wednesday that his Likud party was in talks with several members of the rival right-wing New Hope and Yamina parties, seeking to have them defect and join his bloc of supporters after next week’s Knesset election and hand him a parliamentary majority. The remark was promptly slammed by New Hope leader Gideon Sa’ar, who said the premier was “lying as usual.” Netanyahu has in the past managed to recruit defectors from rival parties, but not after speaking about the possibility publicly beforehand. Netanyahu has sought to pry voters whose primary concern is ousting him away from New Hope and Yamina and push them toward Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid, who is seen as a more comfortable rival for the premier.
