PRAGUE (Sputnik) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can stabilize political situation in the country and form sustainable government, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said on Saturday.
“I believe that experienced politician and longstanding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after a series of early elections took place in the country will manage to calm domestic political situation in Israel, form a stable government and establish rapport with his coalition partners,” he said answering questions of reporters.
Lipavsky refused to comment on the recent visit to the Temple Mount by Israeli Defense Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, which provoked discontent among the Palestinians and caused criticism from Arab states.
“New Israeli government has been in power for only a couple of days now. Thus, it is too early to make any comments,” he said answering a relevant question.
In late December, Benjamin Netanyahu formed a new government in coalition with conservative and nationalist parties.
