Netanyahu Calls for a Likud-Led Unity Government in Israel

All the questions are about what needs to happen now. Now? Unity.

Two days ago, I called for the formation of a unity government.

And that is what the moment demands. Do you know why the moment demands it? Why?

First of all, because you can't form a government with Hamas supporters, with a government that depends on Hamas supporters.

You can't fight Iran and its other offshoots in radical Islam if you have radical Islam supporters you depend on within the government, and that's why a unity government is simply essential.

This government needs to include all the parties in the national camp.

That includes the ultra-Orthodox parties and should include all the other Zionist parties.

I rule out no one, and no one should rule anyone out.

Enough, enough with the boycotts. We need to join forces for the great challenges ahead.

And who should lead such a government? Naturally, the party that should lead this government is the largest party, and Likud under my leadership received the most votes, 250,000 more votes than the next party.

I'm ready to enter into dialogue now with any party that wants to discuss this issue.

We'll discuss it, God willing. We'll do what's necessary.

A unity government.
