Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with local mayors who support Likud on Monday. 'I feel the energies in the field,' he said. 'There are energies I have never felt before - and I am not generally considered optimistic. There is a lot of pain but also a lot of support from Israeli citizens.' 'We still have a mission and to the extent possible to form a unity government,' Netanyahu added. 'The contacts did not stop - they exist. This is necessary for reasons not all of which I can elaborate on.' Lod Mayor Haim Revivo, Modiin Mayor Haim Bibs, Bat Yam Mayor Tzvika Brot and others expressed their support of the prime minister.
