Benjamin Netanyahu claims ‘worldwide’ conspiracy trying to unseat him
JERUSALEM — Benjamin Netanyahu launched an 11th-hour attempt to rally right-wing support and retain power Sunday as he claimed an international conspiracy was attempting to topple his government.
Speaking ahead of a rally in Tel Aviv just two days before a general election that polls show his Likud party to be in danger of losing, Mr. Netanyahu said there was a concerted “worldwide” effort to unseat him.
He accused the international media and “leftist organizations” of co-ordinating a plot funded to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. The goal was to install a left-wing government led by the Zionist Union opposition, which, he said, would bow to foreign pressure by evacuating settlements, surrendering territory in the West Bank, and dividing Jerusalem, which both Israel and the Palestinians claim as their capital.
In an extraordinary message posted on Facebook, the prime minister wrote: “The government of the right is in danger. Leftist activists and the foreign and international media are conspiring to get Tzipi and Buji [Tzipi Livni and Isaac Herzog, the joint leaders of the Zionist Union] elected via illegitimate means, using innuendo and foreign money.
