Israel’s Labour party leader said she would not form a coalition with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu due to the “radicalisation” of his Likud party.
During a meeting that took place with Labour leaders and members of the Knesset yesterday, Shelly Yachimovich said: "I aspire to be elected prime minister, but if I'm not, I will head the opposition.
"Mr Netanyahu is planning a social and economic hell - radicalisation is evident in every aspect.
“I can't imagine what will happen to the rule of law if Mr Netanyahu is re-elected - this isn’t the Likud that we all know."
