Netanyahu behaved ugly towards Rivlin

Former Labor Chairperson and Opposition head Shelly Yechimovich had harsh words for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, slamming him for his attempts to block Reuven Rivlin from becoming president.

Yechimovich told Channel 10 that Netanyahu's conduct towards Rivlin during the elections, which ended in Rivlin's victory on Tuesday, "bordered on disgrace."

"Even after the victory, Netanyahu wasn't magnanimous for a single second, but instead showed a political, petty and ugly settling of accounts. I'm convinced that he didn't vote for Rivlin," said Yechimovich.
