"After congratulating Tzipi Livni, I called on her to coordinate a date for general elections as soon as possible," opposition leader and Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu told reporters at a press conference on Thursday evening.
He added that he intended to approach Labor chairman and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Shas Chairman and Labor, Trade and Industry Minister Eli Yishai, and other faction leaders on the subject.
Netanyahu said that "the only way to stop the deteriorating situation is to enable the people of Israel to elect a new government."
The opposition chairman stated that "anyone who fears the people's decision is not worthy of leading."
"In recent months public norms have been widely discussed. The most decent and democratic step is to hold general elections. We need to let the people of Israel determine who will be Israel's prime minister, not Kadima party members," he said.
"In the last two and a half years the Kadima government has failed in security, economy and education," Netanyahu said. "The only way to stop the deteriorating situation is to enable the people to elect a new government."
The opposition chairman claimed his party could "restore security, boost the education system and stabilize our economy."
Netanyahu said he was confident Israel could be put on the track to success.
