Israel's Netanyahu fights to block opposition parties from taking power

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies on Monday worked furiously to keep opposition parties from forming a government that would displace him from Israel's top political job for the first time in more than 12 years.
Netanyahu supporters slammed right-wing parties planning to join the broad-based coalition as “traitors,” picketed their homes and in some cases issued threats that led police to provide additional security to at least two of the targeted politicians.
Netanyahu reacted with outrage at Bennett’s move, accusing his former protege of committing “the fraud of the century” in a televised remarks Sunday night. Netanyahu supporters branded Bennett and his fellow party leader Ayelet Shaked, a former justice minister, as betrayers of their right-wing voters that would usher in a resurgence of Israel’s long-diminished left wing.
