    Netanyahu Pushes for Unity Government Without Arab Parties

    Outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly called for the formation of a broad-based unity government under his leadership, excluding Arab parties such as the Joint List and Ra'am. He argues that the Israeli public does not want a government reliant on these parties, accusing them of supporting terrorism and denying the right of the Jewish state to exist. Netanyahu's Likud party won the most seats in the October 27 elections, but no majority was achieved, setting the stage for complex coalition negotiations.
