Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Israel's enemies, including Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, are attempting to interfere in the upcoming elections by creating security incidents. In an interview with i24NEWS, Netanyahu stated that intelligence indicates these groups aim to influence the political balance by staging provocations. He asserted that "all of Israel's enemies" desire his defeat, citing a unified front from figures like Erdogan and Ayatollah leaders to Hamas and Mansour Abbas.
Netanyahu characterized the election as a critical choice between his right-wing government and a left-wing government reliant on Arab parties. He sharply criticized former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, accusing him of advocating for a smaller military, withdrawal from Gaza, and opposing actions against Hezbollah and Iran's nuclear program. Netanyahu positioned himself as the sole leader capable of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Addressing recent violence in the West Bank, Netanyahu condemned vigilantism and stated that Shin Bet has been deployed to combat it. However, he defended the broader settler population, describing them as law-abiding and valuable citizens, and attributed the violent acts to small fringe groups from outside the West Bank.
Rejecting the possibility of a unity government, Netanyahu emphasized the need for a clear electoral decision. He reiterated his core principles for a future government, including no Palestinian state and the affirmation of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, alongside an offensive policy. Netanyahu urged supporters of the national camp to vote, warning that current data shows a very close race and a potential loss if right-wing voters stay home.
