Netanyahu tells Channel 12 three days before election that he will not 'evacuate any community' nor divide Jerusalem: 'A Palestinian state will endanger our existence'
Netanyahu says will begin annexing West Bank if re-elected prime minister https://t.co/4d4CxZR0oy
Explosive scoop from @chaimlevinson
Remember the show Netanyahu put on last year with the Iranian nuclear archive? Of course you do. Senior intelligence officials say Bibi harmed the national interest by going public with the operation. https://t.co/H81DTymh5C
During the last election Bibi said he was against a Palestinian state, and then said after the election that he was for it. It's hard to know when he is sincere, but even in his best moments his idea of a Palestinian state is kind of a bantustan.
In Israel Election, the Future of the West Bank Is Now on the Ballot Ahead of Tuesday’s vote, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed extending sovereignty over the West Bank, putting a contentious issue front and center.
Mr. Netanyahu’s surprise promise appeared to be a last-ditch effort to rally his right-wing base as he faced a career-threatening challenge.
Also they have this op-ed by Roger Cohen:
“Final polls before the weekend showed @Netanyahu’s Likud Party trailing top rival and former military chief @GantzBe’s Blue & White bloc in a close race, but with a majority of seats going to Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition.” #IsraelElections2019https://t.co/RpbRUZNGke

Let me guess what's next: it's a Deep State plot to make him lose the election.

He's never sincere. Hope that clarifies.

He will sincerely say or do anything to stay in power, and out of jail.
Like organized crime syndicate bigshots, and Republicans.

He sincerely wants power and to stay out of jail. Any actions or words are likely insincere.

Will the Israeli ‘King’ Be Recrowned? April 7
Prolonging the Netanyahu era would undermine Israeli democracy and bury any last hope of a two-state peace. It's time for Benny Gantz.
