Netanyahu: Who will form defense pact with the U.S. if not me?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the public live on social media on Tuesday and warned that the elections "are not a game: [this is] the fate of the country." Speaking with a hoarse voice, Netanyahu asked: "Who will form a defense pact with the US" if not him. "[Blue and White leader Benny] Gantz will do it? He already said he'll carry out the policies of Meretz and Labor, [and] they're against it." Netanyahu presented viewers with a poster of cities in Israel titled "Strongholds of the Left" and claimed that such cities will outvote the cities with a Right leaning public. "Don't buy this lie spread by the media as if I'll take these elections in a stroll," he warned, "each person must ring up twenty people, bring two other people to the voting station with you." "Don't go to the beach," he said: "Go vote and then go to the beach."
