Yair Netanyahu against Israel's Arabs: "the greatest danger to the state"

In depth

Yair Netanyahu published a social media post saying that "the elections have proven they are the greatest danger to the survival of the state apart from the Iranian nuclear program," and that "20 percent of its population identifies with its enemies." According to Kan News, Netanyahu wrote that a state cannot survive in the long term when such a portion of its population wants its destruction.

According to Israel Hayom and Walla, Netanyahu is the son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. MK Ahmad Tibi responded sharply, writing that the post is a "typical racist and antisemitic statement." According to Maariv, Tibi added that if a re-run of the elections were held, even more people would turn out, and more determined.
