“Netanyahu’s government is a significant threat to the future of Israel — its direction, its security and even the idea of a Jewish homeland,” New York Times editorial board says.
The New York Times on Saturday published an editorial warning against the incoming “far-right” Israeli government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, saying it constituted a “significant threat to future of Israel.”
The editorial argued that while Netanyahu “clearly has the support of the Israeli electorate,” the concessions he is offering his “ultrareligious and ultranationalist” partners jeopardize the country’s democratic values.
“Netanyahu’s government, however, is a significant threat to the future of Israel — its direction, its security and even the idea of a Jewish homeland.”
