The Prime Minister attacked the competitors on the right: "They have no choice but to go with Lapid" • "We have the potential for 40 seats - there are 9 seats sitting in the house waiting for us to bring them"
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this morning (Wednesday) at a Likud faction meeting held on the Knesset balcony that Gideon Saar and Naftali Bennett are lying to the public when they say they will not go into government with Yair Lapid and Yesh Atid. "They say 'we will not go with Lapid as prime minister.' They're just lying.
They want to transfer votes from the right to Lapid's left-wing government.
They need Meretz and Labor to form a government - they have no other way to do it.
They owe Lapid a prime minister or a rotating prime minister. "
According to Netanyahu, "Today we are like a full and stable right-wing government. No rotation, no Fritti, no government within a government. A government that will get Israel out of the corona, jump the Israeli economy, continue to maintain security, bring us back to life. We are on our way there."
On his propaganda efforts in recent weeks in the Arab sector, Netanyahu says: "Something huge is happening in the Arab public. There is a huge change happening. Israeli Arabs are coming to the Likud because they understand that we are going to continue to worry them, that they do not need the parties that disappointed them. "We gave NIS 21 billion to the economic plan and we will also take care of the infrastructure."
Netanyahu said the right-wing government is within reach.
"According to our internal polls, we currently have a potential for about 40 seats. About 30 seats are seen in the polls, there are nine more. What are these nine doing? Sitting at home. They are Likud voters, but they are sitting at home waiting for us to come and take them. Remember in previous elections "We are talking about 300,000 Likud voters who need to be brought in. So now there are 9 seats sitting in the house waiting for us to bring them in, that is our job."
On the competitors to the right of the Likud, Netanyahu said, in the spirit of the days of Purim: Gideon and Bennett are dressing up.
They say, 'We will not sit with Torch.'
They go from studio to studio and say, 'Lapid will not have a prime minister with us.'
They are asked about the weather and they say 'we will not sit with Lapid' ... but if we look at the numbers in the polls: Saar has 14, Bennett 11, Lapid 18, Lieberman will say another 6-7.
These are the numbers.
They need Meretz and Labor to form a government - they have no other way to do it. "
According to Netanyahu, he is fighting not only his political rivals, but also most of the media in the country." We have a struggle not against the opponents but against the media, which is trying to produce an image. Other.
Media in the world say the opposite.
The media in Israel paints a situation where everything is wrong, and the world says that a miracle is happening in Israel.
The whole world is waiting for vaccines, only in Israel are the vaccines waiting for you. "
On the economic aid program that will probably not be prepared by the ombudsman before the election, Netanyahu says:" We will fight to bring our economic aid program to all citizens and independents. If irresponsible politicians and legal advisers continue To stop us because of election considerations for them - on the first day of the right-wing government that is formed, I will bring NIS 15 billion in aid to the citizens. "
