Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has intensified his criticism of political rivals ahead of next week's elections, presenting voters with two starkly different future scenarios for the country. In an interview with Israel National News, Netanyahu framed the choice as either his continued leadership with the support of U.S. President Donald Trump, or an opposition government led by Gadi Eisenkot and Mansour Abbas, the leader of an Arab party.
Netanyahu warned that a victory for the opposition could lead to the formation of a government reliant on left-wing and Arab parties. He drew parallels to political developments in European countries, expressing concern that such a coalition would "destroy Israel," just as he claimed it had "destroyed France" and "destroyed Great Britain."
Furthermore, Netanyahu accused the potential opposition coalition of intending to grant Israeli citizenship to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, a move he believes could alter the country's demographic balance by the next election. This assertion contrasts with the public stances of most major opposition parties, including Eisenkot's political force, which have previously ruled out forming coalitions with Arab factions and, in most cases, oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Netanyahu also specifically criticized Eisenkot, questioning his experience, talent, and international connections, suggesting he is not equipped to represent Israel on the global stage.
