After the Israeli right-wing politician Naftali Bennett announced the formation of the alliance on TV, Netanyahu accused Bennett's announcement in a video message that was "the biggest scam of the century."
Netanyahu said he has made a "very good" proposal to Bennett's party to avoid a "dangerous left-wing government."
Netanyahu said Bennett rejected these proposals because he "only cares about whether he can be prime minister."
"Tonight I stand here as a faithful public representative elected by 2 million voters. They chose me to protect the Israeli people. They know that my compass is not broken." Netanyahu said in his speech.
"Bennet said a few empty words. He created the biggest scam of the century. His promises are feathery. If people know the truth, no one but himself will vote for him. The only thing he cares about Just to be prime minister." Netanyahu continued.
"Bennet said we can't hold elections. He said this not because it's bad for Israel. It's because he knows that he will be annihilated in another election." Netanyahu added.
However, Bennett said in a televised speech that Israel has gone through four election cycles in the past two years, resulting in the country "losing the ability to perform functions," and accused the Israeli leadership of "showing hatred and division to cover up failure."
"Today, I want to announce that I intend to form a unified government with my friend Yell Rapide." Bennett said in a televised speech.
"This is either the fifth election or the unified government."
At the last moment, Netanyahu proposed to form a rotating government with Israeli right-wing politician Kidion Sar, but Sar rejected the proposal and joined Bennett’s coalition, demanding Netanyahu’s resignation.
On March 23, Israel held parliamentary elections, which was the fourth parliamentary election held in the country in two years.
In the election, the right-wing Likud led by Netanyahu ranked first in the number of seats, but none of the camps won the 61 seats needed to form the cabinet.
On April 6, Rivlin authorized Netanyahu to form a new government, but Netanyahu failed to form a cabinet before the deadline of midnight on May 4. On May 5, Rivlin authorized Rapide to form a cabinet. If Rapide is unable to form a government on time, Rivlin will directly hand over the right to form a cabinet to the Parliament. Any member can obtain the right to form a cabinet as long as he can obtain the recommendation of at least 61 members within 21 days, otherwise the Parliament will be dissolved automatically. And parliamentary elections will be held again.
