Netanyahu says he’ll form right-wing government, but will be PM for all
Netanyahu says Israel, under his leadership, is strong, prosperous and “a good place to live.”
Even as he declares his win, Netanyahu also counsels patience until all the ballots are counted.
“A long night, maybe a long day, is still ahead of us and we will wait for the final results,” says Netanyahu.
Netanyahu says he is contact with right-wing parties, “our natural partners.”
“Nearly all of them have publicly declared that they will recommend that I form the next government,” he says.
“It will be a right-wing government. But I intend to be the prime minister of all of Israel, right and left, Jews and non-Jews alike.”
