Israeli PM calls for unity after loss to Netanyahu

Eleanor Reich, Associated Press, Jerusalem

Transcribed from the clipping

“JERUSALEM — Israel’s prime minister on Sunday issued a plea for national unity, days after he was defeated in national elections by the former premier, Benjamin Netanyahu, with the backing of a far-right ultranationalist party… He appeared to take aim at Religious Zionism, an extremist party whose leaders have made repeated anti-Arab, anti-LGBTQ comments… Religious Zionism also promotes a hard line against the Palestinians and Israel’s own Palestinian minority.”

The election that produced the government the rest of this deck reports on. Palestinians appear in the last paragraph, twice, as people a party has a hard line against.
