JERUSALEM, 15 June, 2021 (TON): On Monday, former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu promised to oust the new government.

His remarks came a day after the country's longest-serving ex-leader was ousted by an eight-party diverse coalition government.

As new leader of the opposition, Netanyahu made the remarks during a meeting of the opposition parties.  

He said referring to the new government, “The deceit government will soon be toppled."

He urged lawmakers with his allied parties to show cohesion and "iron discipline" to paralyze the coalition in the parliament, saying ending the rule of the new government will "bring redemption to the people and the State of Israel."

Considering the new government, the lawmakers with the Likud, Netanyahu's right-wing party, interrupted Bennett when he addressed the parliament on Sunday. They shouted insults and interrupted almost every sentence he said.

Moreover, the formal handover ceremony that accompanies a change of prime ministers was not held as David Bitan, a lawmaker with Netanyahu's Likud party, told the media that Netanyahu would not hold the ceremony because he feels cheated by the establishment of the new government and does not want to give even the slightest legitimacy to this matter.
