Taunts, heckling and fiery Netanyahu speech as Israel's Knesset sworn in
Benjamin Netanyahu uses a speech traditionally used as a toast to rail against Arab-Israeli members of the Knesset, three weeks after a deadlocked election result.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Knesset, expressing concern over Iran's escalating nuclear ambitions. He firmly stated that the only solution to this existential threat is the downfall of the Ayatollah regime. Netanyahu warned that Israel is set to face international pressure to accept Iran as a nuclear power and to accept the dangerous regime that seeks its destruction.
Moreover, the prime minister cautioned that Israel might be compelled to relinquish its significant achievements and progress made in securing its borders. To combat these challenges, Netanyahu passionately urged Knesset members to put aside their other priorities and work towards forming a national unity government. He firmly believed that only such a government possesses the capacity to tackle these formidable issues.
