Warning regarding the Iranian nuclear programme

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly warned of the danger of potential nuclear weapon use against Israel. These warnings were delivered during a speech dedicated to the formation of a new government, which took place after a meeting with opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot.

According to the head of the Israeli government, the Iranian regime, which seeks to destroy Israel, is once again working on reviving its nuclear programme. Netanyahu emphasised that a regime that did not hesitate to kill thousands of its own citizens would likewise not hesitate to use nuclear weapons against Israel once it manages to resume uranium enrichment and accelerate the development of nuclear weapons.

«Ми повинні раз і назавжди усунути цю екзистенційну загрозу, що нависла над нами» (We must eliminate this existential threat hanging over us once and for all), Netanyahu stated, referring to Iran.

Context of coalition formation

It is noted that the meeting with Gadi Eisenkot only strengthened the prime minister's conviction in the need to create a government of national unity. The political situation remains tense following last month's parliamentary elections.

According to the voting results, Netanyahu's party, Likud, together with its allies, secured 53 seats in the Knesset. Eisenkot's political force, Yashar, and its allies won 48 mandates, while the Arab coalition received 19. Forming a government requires securing the support of at least 61 deputies.

Netanyahu expressed concern over the possibility that Eisenkot might join forces with the Arab coalition to form a government, which he described as "fragile and dangerous". The Israeli prime minister called representatives of Arab parties "supporters of terrorism" and had previously accused them of "stealing the elections".
