He said that hostile elements around the world are working to make him lose the elections, and noted that there are signs that the Iranians have initiated action to influence them. Netanyahu added that the only way to prevent rounds against Iran is to overthrow the regime, and that this is the directive he gave to the Mossad and the IDF. Later, he addressed the possibility of a government in partnership with the Arab parties, and said that Ra'am wants to receive the Ministry of Interior to naturalize Palestinians as part of family reunification. He also warned that 3-4 right-wing mandates could be wasted due to small parties that do not pass the electoral threshold.
