Netanyahu will only Stand for PM if Parliament Dissolved 

 

Israel's former right-wing leader Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday will not stand in the race for prime minister unless parliament is dissolved and there are new legislative elections. 

"I will only stand if there are (legislative) elections," he told Israel's Channel Two television station. 

Netanyahu is currently barred from standing in a special election for prime minister, due to take place in February following the resignation Sunday of Ehud Barak, because he is not a sitting MK -- JERUSALEM (AFP)
