Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared on the "HaPatriotim" program on Channel 14, warning of a potential leftist victory in upcoming elections and asserting that only his government could prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. During an interview with Yinon Magal, Netanyahu stated he had instructed the Mossad and the IDF to act to overthrow the Iranian regime, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. He also criticized the Israeli judicial system, vowing to end what he termed "judicial dictatorship."
Netanyahu painted a dire picture of a potential left-wing government, suggesting they would persecute right-wing voters, shut down Channel 14, establish an Arab autonomy in the Negev, withdraw from security zones in Syria, Gaza, and Lebanon, and grant citizenship to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians through family reunification, ultimately leading to the establishment of a Palestinian state. "This is a disaster for the State of Israel," he declared.
Addressing the Iranian nuclear threat, Netanyahu claimed that rivals believed coexistence with a nuclear Iran was possible, a notion he rejected, stating "either they will destroy us or we will destroy them." He asserted that his government was the only one capable of preventing this outcome, with only ten percent of the work remaining.
Journalist Barak Seri, commenting on Netanyahu's appearance, described it as a "hysterical performance" driven by "complete panic" over a potential election defeat. Seri accused the Prime Minister of fear-mongering, lying, and making baseless accusations to frighten the public into voting for him. He expressed particular concern over Netanyahu's alleged attempts to provoke an attack on Iran before the elections, contrary to the positions of the IDF chief of staff and the military, calling Netanyahu "extremely dangerous."
