Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the leaders of the opposition bloc to join him in a single unified government in a video released on Monday, saying that it was "the need of the hour."
Netanyahu said any Zionist party could join him in the government and that he was not removing anyone from consideration, while also saying that he, as the head of the single largest party, should lead this unified government.
"This government needs to include all the parties in the national camp, which also includes the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties," Netanyahu said.
He claimed that the parties need to join forces in order to face the "major challenges" standing in the country's path.
"You cannot form a government with Hamas supporters," he said.
This is a developing story.
