Netanyahu warns against small right-wing parties, says they could hand election to 'fascist Left'
The prime minister's statement also came as Arab-Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad officially registered a new Right-wing party under the name "Brave Israel" on Monday
Assessment
Netanyahu is drawing a hard line around his own coalition, telling right-wing voters that splintering their vote will empower the political opposition he labels as fascist. The timing is deliberate: a new right-wing party just registered, threatening to peel away votes from Likud and its allies. The prime minister is trying to consolidate the right-wing bloc before the election, framing any vote for a smaller party as a direct gift to the Left. Watch whether Haddad's party gains traction or fizzles, and whether other right-wing figures follow his lead.
