Photo Credit: Kobi Richter/TPS Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday night assailed the Blue and White party, his arch political rivals, for their apparent willingness to establish a minority government supported by the Arab Members of Knesset (MK), a development he said will be celebrated in Tehran and Ramallah. Netanyahu addressed an emergency event held by his Likud party in Tel Aviv in a fateful moment for the State of Israel. Blue and White leaders Benny Gantz, Gabi Ashkenazi, and Boogie Yaalon decided to form a minority government that will rely on the members of the Joint Arab List, he warned.

Israel's reluctance to carry out a preventive strike against Egypt enabled our enemies to take the initiative and inflict on us heavy casualties. I by no means underestimate the difficulties embedded in the decision to undertake a preventive strike
