Israel’s Netanyahu criticises opposition uniting against him for elections
Five opposition leaders agree to cooperate to boost voter turnout to secure a majority in the October 27 elections.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticised the opposition leaders who began coordinating to replace his government ahead of the October 27 Knesset elections.
The five politicians met at opposition leader Yair Lapid’s home in Tel Aviv on Saturday to coordinate their strategy before the elections, Israel’s Channel 12 reported.
In his first response to the agreement, Netanyahu claimed Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot would seek to form a government with Yair Lapid, Yair Golan, Bennett 2026, Yisrael Beiteinu and Arab parties.
Lapid posted a group picture and a document listing their principles for coordination until the election and afterwards.
