  "account": "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged for a unity government for the first time since the recent elections, asserting that this moment calls for unity and aligns with the people's will. He warned that a government formed with supporters of terror would fail to combat terrorism, destroy Israel from within, and undermine Israel's security. Netanyahu accused opposition leaders of planning to create a government with Arab parties, whom he accused of backing Hamas and aiming to undermine Israel's existence. He stated that such a coalition would be unable to address security challenges, including the threat from Iran and ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. Netanyahu emphasized that a government reliant on terror supporters, haters of Judaism, and radical Islam would not protect Israel's security or its status as a Jewish state. He warned that a government dependent on Islamist parties would tear down Israel from within, comparing its potential consequences to those seen in European countries. Netanyahu concluded by calling for a national unity government that includes all parties of the national camp and Zionist parties, pledging it would permanently remove the nuclear threat from Iran and preserve Israel as a Jewish state. President Isaac Herzog is anticipated to decide on the person who will form the next government following the 2026 election on Sunday.",
