Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a sharp attack on Tuesday against the Joint List and the Ra'am party, asserting that their goals are identical and that both "want to eliminate Israel." Speaking at a Knesset event, Netanyahu called for the formation of a national unity government, citing anticipated escalating security threats and political pressures.
Netanyahu vehemently opposed the possibility of a minority government that would rely on Arab parties, warning of a danger to Israel's future as a Jewish state. He criticized discussions in the Knesset about forming a narrow government with "terror supporters," identifying individuals who allegedly portray Hamas as a "charity organization" and deny its acts of massacre and sexual violence.
The Prime Minister cautioned against the potential consequences of such a government, claiming that Arab parties aim to advance "mass family unification that will lead to the destruction of the Jewish state." While stating there is "no problem in improving the social situation of Arabs," he questioned the true intentions of Arab party Knesset members.
