  • Netanyahu stated only his leadership can combat the threat of "extreme Islam."

  • This was Netanyahu's first public video statement since election night.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in his first public video statement since election night, declared that Arab parties are "terror-supporting parties." He asserted that a government relying on them would be unable to confront the "extreme Islam" threat facing Israel internally and externally. Netanyahu, who has previously questioned election results in written statements, called for a "broad national government" led by the Likud party under his leadership. He specified that such a government should include all components of the "national bloc" and any "Zionist parties" willing to join, stating this is the only way to address the challenge.

Netanyahu has been largely out of public view since election night last Tuesday. His remarks come amid ongoing political maneuvering following the recent elections, with Netanyahu seeking to form a coalition government.
