PM slams left, media in campaign speech, says election victory ‘not guaranteed’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mocks rival Benny Gantz, saying that he speaks “from the heart” and does not need to make scripted speeches and read them out mechanically.

To a cheering crowd made up of Likud activists, Netanyahu hails Israel’s international standing and his government’s diplomatic achievements.

He repeatedly lashes out at the left and the media, saying “they are mostly the same” and calling on his supporters to defeat the “left-wing propagandists.”

“It’s not guaranteed. It’s not in our pocket. It will not be simple. It will be a hard battle,” he says.
