Netanyahu warns against small right-wing parties, says they could hand election to 'fascist Left'
The prime minister's statement also came as Arab-Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad officially registered a new Right-wing party under the name "Brave Israel" on Monday.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Monday against the formation of small right-wing parties, asserting that such parties could cost his coalition the upcoming election and enable the opposition to form the next government. The prime minister's statement came a day before the reported launch of a new right-wing party led by Brig.-Gen.
(res.) Ofir Winter, which polls suggest could siphon votes from existing right-wing parties in Netanyahu's cabinet. Netanyahu also urged voters not to support these emerging parties, explaining that splitting the right-wing vote would effectively "burn" their support. He painted a dire picture of what the opposition could achieve, warning of a "fascist regime" where free expression and civil liberties would be curtailed.
Netanyahu emphasized that the only way to prevent this disaster for Israel is by avoiding the vote for these splinter parties, describing them as a waste of a voter's choice.
