Netanyahu's Campaign Aims to Prevent Ouster, Analysts Say
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is employing "fearmongering" tactics and shifting political proposals to avoid leaving office after his bloc lost its majority in the recent election. He released a video warning of national suicide if Arab parties support a centrist coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot, who has been tasked by President Isaac Herzog to form a government. Netanyahu is reportedly willing to offer power-sharing deals, but opposition leaders have rejected any government with him. Meanwhile, Avigdor Liberman is also positioning himself to attempt forming a government if others fail.
