He said Netanyahu’s victory showed Likud members had “elected a leader facing three indictments, who is seeking to unravel the rule of law and secure personal immunity.” “Netanyahu is going for a third shot, hoping the next election will prove more successful,” he told AFP. The premier held several campaign events a day in different parts of the country, while on Thursday his Facebook page broadcast live video of him phoning supporters.
