Netanyahu: Next election are about leadership, support Likud to support me
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented on the looming elections he called Tuesday evening, saying "the elections are about one question – who will lead the country in face the massive challenges it faces."
According to Netanyahu, Israel needs a "strong and experienced party… and the Likud is the only relevant party. Whoever wants to give it a clear mandate to lead the country with a prime minister from the Likud must give the Likud a mandate."
Netanyahu's personal victory is almost assured, and thus his comments are an attempt to shore up support for his party, "that is the main lesson from recent years and that is this elections' challenge."
