Netanyahu: We succeeded in preventing the destruction of the Third Temple, and I will work to form a broad national government to strengthen the unity of Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his intention to work to form a broad national government that seeks to strengthen internal unity and ensure Israel's security and future, as the electoral deadline approaches.
In a video speech on the eve of the ninth of Av according to the Jewish calendar, which Jews commemorate the destruction of the Temple, Netanyahu said that the Israelis remember “the heavy price of hatred and internal division,” adding that joint efforts over the past three years have prevented, in his words, “the demolition of the Third Temple.”

He continued: "As Prime Minister of Israel, I intend to strengthen our unity. Therefore, I will work to form a broad national government, a stable government that will take care of our security and our future."
Netanyahu stressed that the work is not finished yet, and that Israel still faces many challenges, but he expressed his confidence in his country’s ability to overcome them.
Less than a year after his political return in 2022 at the head of a right-wing government, Netanyahu's security credibility was undermined by the surprise attack launched by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
Netanyahu indicated that the expected controversy during the election period will not change the fact that Israelis are “more united than they appear.”
