Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared his intention to form a strong, nationalist right-wing government that will not rely on "anti-Zionist parties." Speaking at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem after the initial exit poll results were released, Netanyahu stated that while he would wait for the final results, his stance on coalition building was clear. He emphasized the need for a right-wing national government and explicitly ruled out relying on parties he described as anti-Zionist.
Netanyahu sharply criticized the public discourse surrounding the possibility of forming a government with the support of Arab parties. "Where have we reached?! Politicians and media channels are talking about this and normalizing it," he said, expressing dismay at the normalization of such discussions. He also addressed the concept of a "servants' alliance," questioning how such a term could be used when those involved were allegedly acting in concert against those who serve the country.
The Prime Minister asserted that a government leaning on anti-Zionist Arab parties should not be formed. He also highlighted what he perceives as overwhelming public support among the Zionist Jewish public and those who support the Jewish state, stating, "There is a clear, decisive majority among the Zionist Jewish public and all those who support the Jewish state."
