With less than two weeks until the elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed significant concern about the fate of the right-wing bloc, stating that the real numbers are not reflected in optimistic polls or those from "panic channels." In an interview on Channel 14's "The Patriots," Netanyahu warned that the election outcome is uncertain and will be decided by voter turnout, urging supporters not to stay home. He specifically cautioned against a scenario where "Izencot" becomes prime minister, "Golan" defense minister, and "Lazimi" education minister, imploring viewers to vote "Mahl."
Netanyahu also addressed security and foreign policy, reaffirming his commitment to combating Iran's nuclear program, stating, "We carried out two operations that eliminated the threat of destroying Israel. As long as this regime stands, it will try to destroy us again." He vowed that the Iranian regime "must pass from the world, because it is either them or us, and it must be us." Regarding Gaza, Netanyahu reiterated the clear objective: "to eliminate Hamas! Simple."
In a strong message to the judiciary, Netanyahu declared that Israel would remain in Judea and Samaria despite potential judicial intervention, stating, "The Supreme Court can be pleased, we are staying there. There is a limit to the craziness. We will also deal with the Supreme Court." The interview, which also featured right-wing activists Romi Avitan and Rena Gissfan in the studio, is part of Netanyahu's strategy to exclusively grant interviews to Channel 14, which he refers to as a "patriots" channel, while continuing his boycott of other major Israeli networks.
Avitan shared a TikTok video from the meeting, quoting Netanyahu as saying, "I don't wash my hand in life!" and offering 100 shekels to anyone who would shake her hand.
