Netanyahu says Israeli coalition poised to unseat him is result of ‘election fraud’

Benjamin Netanyahu has said a newly formed Israeli coalition that is poised to unseat him as prime minister was the result of “the greatest election fraud” in the history of democracy.

The sweeping accusation, similar in tone to those made about the US election by his former close ally Donald Trump, came as Israeli security services warned of an escalation in violent discourse in the country.

In power for 12 consecutive years, the Israeli prime minister faces being toppled by a diverse coalition of lawmakers united only by their shared hostility towards him.

I heard the new PM is even more to the right?

It's hard to imagine someone more to the right than Netanyahu, but I have no idea. If true, this is a bad fate for Palestinians.

I wonder if there will be a violent insurrection at their capitol building as well.

He sounds like a winey loser Trump. 12 years is long enough; time to go. Israel does not need a dictator.

Asked in 2018 if he would advocate a “shoot to kill” policy against children breaching the Gaza border, Naftali Bennett retorted: “They are not children — they are terrorists.”

Wow...

The new coalition is very broad.
So, although some elements want to be shot of the Palestinians, some want better relations with them (Ywa only knows how that’s gonna work).

The world is a better place without a Netenyahoo in charge. Corrupt and extremely right-wing.

12 years is long enough for any leader to implement his agenda; if he hasn’t by then, he never will.

The coalition looks very fragile. The members have only a common desire to end N’s rule, but no common agenda.

Wow, is just an indication that you are sitting there in the comfort and safety of your home in peace and lack the ability to put yourself in the shoes of people in that region. First no children should be even near the border without an adult. Next Hamas is notorious for using children to carry weapons, and this fact is well documented by independent observers.
