Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement Wednesday warning against the formation of a minority government reliant on the support of Arab parties, which he characterized as "terror supporters." He urged Zionist parties to join a broad national government led by the Likud.
Netanyahu linked the threat posed by Iran and its allies to the activities of Arab parties, stating, "Extreme Islam is the challenge that is tearing apart countries in Europe today. This is the challenge that also threatens us. It threatens from the outside through Iran and its proxies, and it threatens from within through Islamist parties of terror supporters."
He asserted that these parties aim to erase Israel's Jewish identity and prevent the nation from defending itself. "Anyone who is not certain they can deal with the challenge of extreme Islam is a government dependent on extreme Islam," Netanyahu stated, implying that a government relying on such parties would be incapable of confronting hostile elements.
He further accused these parties of dedicating their electoral gains to "despicable Nuخba terrorists" imprisoned in Israel, warning that such a government would not fight enemies but would instead "dismantle us from within."
Conversely, Netanyahu advocated for a broad coalition comprising the national bloc and any other Zionist parties willing to join. He accused leaders of the left-wing bloc of prioritizing their political interests over national ones by seeking to establish a narrow minority government and setting "impossible conditions" to prevent a wide national government.
