Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged parties opposed to terrorism to collaborate with Likud and establish a "broad national government," signaling his openness to dialogue. Netanyahu emphasized that the Israeli public does not wish for a government that relies on Ra'am and the Joint List, parties that support terrorism and deny the Jewish state's existence.
He noted that Likud emerged as the largest party, securing 27 seats in the Knesset, while his bloc amassed 53 overall. Yesh Atid gained 21 seats, and Arab parties secured 19. On Saturday, Yesh Atid chairman Gadi Eisenkot proposed four coalition principles that any MK accepting them could join, aiming for a broad, Zionist, and statesmanlike government.
Netanyahu stated he remains willing to discuss forming such a government contingent on the parties' rejection of terrorism.
