Netanyahu plans ‘broad national govt.’ after Israel vote

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his intention to form a broad national government after upcoming elections, distancing himself from both far-right and left-wing dependencies. This move comes amidst poor polling and public criticism regarding the war with Iran. Netanyahu also lauded a US-brokered agreement with Lebanon as a historic achievement, viewing it as a blow to Iran and Hezbollah, and affirmed Israel's commitment to maintaining a security zone within Lebanese territory.
