WorldIsraeli election: Barak says Netanyahu “did not win” but “lost dramatically”

Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak told FRANCE 24 that Benjamin Netanyahu did not win this week’s election but “lost dramatically,” and urged rival Gadi Eisenkot to ally with Arab parties. Barak said claims of Qatari funding for an Arab party were meant to distract from an ongoing corruption scandal and warned Netanyahu was ready to strike Iran to stay in power.
