Netanyahu says he wants broad coalition after Israel election

Netanyahu says he wants broad coalition after Israel election Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants to form a broader coalition after the next election, distancing himself from the far-right allies who have helped keep him in power. I intend to establish a broad national government, not a right-wing government, not a left-wing government that depends on Arab parties, but a broad national government, Netanyahu said in a televised briefing. His remarks mark an attempt to recast his political strategy before a national vote that must take place by 27 October. Netanyahu’s current government has relied heavily on far-right ministers who have pushed Israel deeper into occupation, settlement expansion and military escalation across the region.
