Netanyahu trounced Sa'ar in the race for Likud leadership last December - winning some 72.5% of the party vote in a landslide win. Sa'ar formed his own breakaway party – New Hope - with disastrous results in the recent election.
That Netanyahu should continue to be frustrated in leading Israel's next Government by these three political spoilers beggars belief.
Netanyahu certainly has his problems - spending an increasing amount of his time in defending three indictments brought against him by Israel's Attorney General. However the presumption of innocence should be afforded him – as it is with any other person in Israel facing charges.

It surely is time for these three amigos – Liberman, Bennett and Sa'ar – to put the voters ahead of their own personal ambitions, swallow their pride and end their political grandstanding.
Israel – and Israelis - deserve better.
