Netanyahu claims public unity deeper than parliament divisions

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted that Israeli society is far more united than political divisions in the Knesset might suggest. Speaking during a visit to wounded soldiers at Rambam Hospital in Haifa, Netanyahu said there was “much greater unity within the people than what is later expressed in parliament.” The Prime Minister was visiting both regular and reserve soldiers receiving treatment at the facility. Netanyahu expressed deep admiration for the wounded troops, saying he was moved by their spirit and determination. His comments appear to address growing concerns about political polarisation within Israel, suggesting that beneath the surface divisions visible in parliamentary debates, there remains a stronger sense of national cohesion among the broader population.
