Speaking after Prime Minister-designate Naftali Bennett and Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid, Benjamin Netanyahu told Knesset that he will continue to serve the country as head of the opposition, vowing to return to the primeriship.
"I stand here on behalf of the million Israelis… who voted for Likud under my leadership, and the other million Israelis who voted for right-wing parties with the knowledge they would join a government headed by me," he said.
Netanyahu recapped his achievements, from ensuring Israel becomes the first vaccinated country, to opposing Iran’s development of nuclear weapons, to the Abraham Accords, to the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
