Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: The Israeli public does not want a government dependent on the Knesset and the coalition—parties that support terrorism and deny the existence of the Jewish state.
From the very beginning, we were offered the opportunity to form a broad national government.
A clear majority of the Jewish population elected Likud as the strongest party and me as Prime Minister to lead the next government.
We are aiming for a broad government with our partners and with any party that desires it and does not support terrorism. I am open to dialogue on this issue.
