By KUNA,
Gaza : The leader of Israeli Kadima Party called here on Monday on members of her party to be ready for general elections, an indication of her failure in forming a new government.
Tzipi Livni who was tasked by the president to form a new government, stated to the Israeli radio that the party should be ready for the elections.
She added that the priority goes for solidfying the current government coalition and exerting all possible efforts to expand it.
She added in a meeting for her party in the Knesset (the parliament) last night that Kadima, being a political party, should be prepared for the possibility of holding the polls ahead of schedule.
Livni is supported by 39 deputies in the knesset, out of 120, to be the head of the new government, but the number is not enough, and she lacks backing of the left-wing Labor Party.
The outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced last Sunday his resignation from the government, hoping that his successor, Livni, would succeed in forming a new cabinet as soon as possible.
