Netanyahu Warns Against Government Dependent on Islamist Parties, Calls for Broad National Coalition
Netanyahu said a Likud-led coalition is needed to confront radical Islam and repeated claims that foreign countries tried to sway the vote.
- Earlier Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released his first video statement since last week's election, warning that a government reliant on Arab parties would be unable to confront the threat of Radical Islam.
- Netanyahu renewed allegations of foreign interference, claiming "serious suspicions of foreign countries intervening with enormous sums of money" to influence the election results in the State of Israel.
- Citing remarks that praised Hamas, Netanyahu accused Arab parties of supporting terrorism, claiming such a government would "tear us apart from within" and referencing imprisoned Nukhba force members.
- While Opposition leaders struggle to assemble a parliamentary majority, Shas chairman Aryeh Deri announced he will remain at the helm of the Orthodox party.
- Netanyahu argued that only a broad national government led by Likud can address the country's security challenges, accusing opponents of prioritizing political interests over the national interest.
