Netanyahu urges right-wing voters to treat upcoming election as existential
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on X that the upcoming parliamentary vote is a life-or-death issue for right-wing supporters, warning that a loss could bring a coalition of Avigdor Lieberman, Gadi Eisenkot and Arab parties.
In a social-media message, Benjamin Netanyahu framed the imminent election as a critical survival test for Israel's right-wing electorate. He appealed directly to those voters, insisting they must turn out for Likud. Netanyahu warned that failure to do so would result in a government led by Avigdor Lieberman, Gadi Eisenkot and supported by Arab parties, which he characterized as backing terrorism. The post referenced remarks by Palestinian politician Ahmed Tibi to underscore his point.
Why it matters
The prime minister's warning seeks to galvanize right-wing voters ahead of a pivotal Israeli election that could reshape the governing coalition.
