Netanyahu frames upcoming elections as choice between his government and left-wing bloc

Israeli Prime Minister and head of the Likud ruling party, Benjamin Netanyahu, unveiled new members to the party and said the choice in the upcoming elections is between a national government led by him or an allegedly left-wing government backed by Israeli-Arab parties.

Netanyahu did not refer to the UK-led trade ban against Israeli settlements in the West Bank, but reiterated that Israel was able to change the face of the Middle East. He vowed to complete the mission of defeating the Iranian threat, overthrowing its regime, and destroying Hezbollah and Hamas.
