There may be a change of government in Israel but Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Thursday, urged his colleagues in the country’s Supreme Legislature (Knesset) to block it.

Netanyahu is alleging that the political actors in the new coalition government has an Islamic model.

Ra’am is said to be an Arab political wing of an Islamic movement in Israel.

But in his reaction, Netanyahu claimed that Lapid and Bennett want to sell the country to an anti-Jewish political ideology.

“Bennett sold the Negev to RAAM!

“All right-wing Knesset members must oppose this dangerous left-wing government,” he tweeted.

But Lapid, who is also a member of the Israeli legislature, has assured that the new government would work for the betterment of the country.

“I have now announced in honor of the President of the State, Reuven (Ruby) Rivlin, that I have succeeded in successfully completing the craft of assembling the government.
