Israel Hayom newspaper reported that Israeli Prime Minister-designate Gadi Eisenkot instructed his team to cancel a negotiation session with the Likud party, which was scheduled for tomorrow, following the speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In response, the Likud party stated that Netanyahu insists on what he said in his speech regarding non-cooperation with terror supporters and readiness to sit with those who want unity.

Eisenkot described the speech by caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the opening of the new Knesset on Tuesday as "shameful" and "inciting hatred" in a statement.
