  • Yair Netanyahu claims most Muslim Arab Israelis identify as Palestinian and want to destroy Israel.
  • He stated election results prove this and called it an existential threat to the Jewish state.
  • Netanyahu accused the High Court of Justice of enabling terror-supporting parties to run for Knesset.
  • He believes these parties violate Israeli law by disqualifying Israel as a Jewish state.

Yair Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, posted on Wednesday that the results of the recent elections prove that most Muslim Arab citizens of Israel identify as Palestinians, justify terrorism against Israelis, and aspire to destroy the Jewish state. He described this phenomenon as an existential threat to Israel, comparable to the Iranian nuclear threat.

In his post, Netanyahu stated that these Arab Israelis "want to throw all the Jews out of here, aspire to destroy the Jewish state, and establish an Arab Islamic Palestinian state on its ruins." He further criticized the Israeli judicial system, specifically the High Court of Justice (Bagatz), for allegedly emptying the law of its content. Netanyahu asserted that Israeli law clearly prohibits parties that support terrorism and disqualify Israel as a Jewish state from running in the Knesset elections, but that the court enables them to run in violation of the law.
