Israel elections: Netanyahu calls for a right-wing government and attacks Arab parties

Israel ·

Netanyahu urged Jewish parties to rally behind him to form a strong right-wing government and warned against a government that depends on Arab parties.

Arab citizens make up about a fifth of Israel's population, and Arab parties have held Knesset seats for decades; whether they could join a governing coalition has long been a contentious issue in Israeli politics.
