Netanyahu wants to lead an expanded government without Arabs
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for a broad coalition government excluding Arab parties, emphasizing dialogue with those who do not support terrorism. Following recent elections, Netanyahu noted the public's preference against reliance on Arab parties, which he accuses of supporting terrorism. The Likud party, led by Netanyahu, won the most seats but lacks a majority in the Knesset. Opposition parties have united against him, proposing Gadi Eisenkot as a potential leader. Meanwhile, Netanyahu's party has requested a delay in election result certification, alleging fraud. Concerns arise over potential escalations in security to delay government changes, as the Israeli President prepares to consult parties for coalition formation.
