Netanyahu warns opposition win would mean Palestinian state, pullout from Lebanon and Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said two weeks before the election that an opposition victory would lead to a Palestinian state and withdrawals from Lebanon and Gaza, and that his rivals would do nothing against Iran.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a special interview with Israel’s Channel 14 aired 14 days before the general election, warned that an opposition victory would bring about a Palestinian state. “They will establish a Palestinian state. They will withdraw from Lebanon, from Gaza,” he said.
“They will do nothing against Iran. They don’t have the strength, they don’t have the ability and they don’t have the will,” Netanyahu said, also claiming an opposition win would mean “Arab autonomy in the Galilee and the Negev.” “We haven’t lost anything. We could lose everything if they win,” he added.
A tight race before Oct. 27
Israel votes for its 26th Knesset on Oct. 27. A Maariv poll showed the coalition and opposition blocs tied at 52 seats each, and most surveys show neither bloc reaching the 61 seats needed for a majority, while Channel 14’s polls give Netanyahu’s coalition a majority.
