PM Netanyahu:
“Look at what Israel’s enemies want. Erdoğan says: "Netanyahu must fall."
And in Hezbollah, Naim Qassem says: "Netanyahu must fall."
Why are they saying this? Because they understand that we will strike them; we will finish the job.
On the other hand, they understand that the alternative is a feeble, weak government.”
