Netanyahu Warns Against Government Relying on Arab Parties

Netanyahu called for the formation of a broad national government led by himself and the Likud party. He stated that this government should include all components of the national bloc and any willing Zionist parties, asserting that only such a coalition can effectively address the security challenges.

These remarks come as political parties submit their recommendations for the next prime minister to President Isaac Herzog, with reports suggesting the recommendations may favor Eizenkot. While the Shas party recommended Netanyahu, Eizenkot sent a message to Trump stating that "Israel voted for change."

In his video message, which also addressed U.S. citizens, Netanyahu pledged to strengthen the alliance with Washington and promote stability and prosperity in the Middle East. He also stated his intention to bring new, liberal, and egalitarian leadership, despite having previously questioned the election results in written statements.
