Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was a guest tonight (Sunday) on the program "The Main Story" hosted by Irit Linor and Arel Segal on Channel 20 - and stated: "This government is more dangerous than the disengagement and Oslo.".

Netanyahu began: "This is the last place in the Israeli media that I can speak. In the rest of the media, Bennett and Lapid are being petted and licked.".

On Facebook's one-sidedness: "Facebook rejected posts from right-wingers calling for a demonstration in front of MK Orbach's house, but for some reason they didn't reject identical posts from the left. This is simply a gag.".

On the incitement against him on social media: "What is incitement? Incitement is not political criticism, no matter how pointed. Incitement is a call for violence or murder. For nearly two years, the 'black flags' funded by left-wing organizations in Israel and around the world have been calling for the murder of me, my wife, and my children under the guise of art. Is a call to harm my wife also art? Have you ever heard anyone from law enforcement say anything against it? No one has spoken against it.

""But when there is criticism from the right - it is incitement, Rabbi Druckman's words are incitement? Nonsense.".

On the Yamina chairman: "I think what Bennett is doing is selling the country off. He took votes from the right and transferred them to the left in the most blatant way. He is the savior of the left. He signed this chair here with a firm forehead because he did not sit with Lapid. 95% on the right say that this is a left-wing government in every sense of the word. But 95% on the left are happy with him. He is doing something that no left-wing government has done: He is bringing a party of terror supporters into the government.".

Netanyahu added: "Bennett is a megalomaniac with an unlimited lust for power. Bennett comes at any cost and is ready to sell the country.".

Regarding the statement that he tried to form a government with the Raam party, Netanyahu said: "I have given the Arabs of Israel more than all the Israeli governments combined. I will continue to give to the Arab public, but not in the sense of control. Not to repeal the Kaminitz Law, to cancel the demolition in the Negev. That is a lie. I have never agreed to form a government with the Raam party. It is all a complete lie. Bennett lies all the time. Let them reveal the agreements.".

Netanyahu emphasized: "They want to create renewed autonomy in the Negev. Bennett has done a liquidation sale of the state. This is Mansour Abbas's vision. We would never give him that, Bennett gave him that.".

On Iran: "When Iran has a nuclear arsenal - we are under existential threat. I estimate that there will be a new agreement with Iran within a few weeks. The new government will not carry out any significant operation beyond enemy lines. I - I did it. I told Biden: 'Joe, I will do everything I can to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons.'".

On the Deep State: "The Deep State is now deep inside this government. On Friday, they explain to us that the only one who can influence Auerbach is Alon Davidi, and suddenly they're reopening his case? Let's start by summoning Avigdor Lieberman to testify. To this day, they haven't questioned or even summoned Lieberman about what happened in the Yisrael Beiteinu party and the corruption there.

""The only one standing in front of the sewn-up cases is me. They are falling apart in a comedy in court.".

On the right-wing members of the emerging government: "Amichai Shikli is a hero, not a deserter. I address the 12 right-wing representatives in the emerging government: The left is using Bennett as a tool to reinstate himself back into the government and Bennett is using you as a tool to bring himself to the prime ministership.

"I am addressing the dozen members of Knesset: You are lying to yourselves and lying to your constituents.".

Regarding Bennett's words: "There will be no catastrophe, only a change of prime minister," Netanyahu said: "It does matter who the prime minister is. Acting rashly is very dangerous. Both on the political side and on the security side. Abbas dictated the redistribution plan to them. A Palestinian consulate is going to be built in central Jerusalem. Who will stop them? Leave Iran's security side alone.".

In response to the question of whether he will remain to lead the Likud from the opposition: "I will continue to lead the right-wing camp. I said this today in the Likud faction as well. I would be willing to do a great deal to prevent this dangerous government from being formed.".

The Prime Minister emphasized: "I am anxious for the fate of the country. There are irresponsible people here. It is a deadly combination of irresponsibility and incompetence combined with megalomania. They say that the Prime Minister of Israel is the hardest job in the world. If you are a prime minister of the left - they will embrace you.".

Netanyahu stated: "I warned before Oslo that terror strongholds would be rebuilt, I warned before the disengagement that missiles would fly here from Gaza, and I warn before this government, this government is more dangerous than the previous two cases.".

""Don't give in to this lie! I have never played with Israel's security or the lives of our soldiers. This needs to continue and I'm not sure it will.".
