Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday received the official mandate to form a government from Israeli President Isaac Herzog, after holding a marathon of consultations with representatives of all political parties.
“Voters have given unequivocal trust in me and Likud, as well as in the parties partnering with us. But I want to say: I intend to be the prime minister of everyone – those who voted for me, and those who did not vote for me,” he said.
“There are many who welcome the election results – but there are also those who utter prophecies of doom and frighten the public. This is not the first time such things have been said. They said it about [former prime minister Menachem] Begin, and they said it about me too. It was not true then, and it is not true today,” Netanyahu said.
