Netanyahu: Israeli public rejects government dependent on parties supporting terrorism

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the Israeli public does not want a government reliant on Ra'am and the Joint List, describing them as parties that support terrorism and deny the Jewish state's existence. Netanyahu said a clear majority of the Jewish public chose Likud as the largest party and him as prime minister to lead the next government. He expressed willingness to form a broad national government with partners and any party that does not support terrorism, saying he is open to discussions on the matter.
