Coalition with Arab parties would be ‘a shame and a disgrace’, Netanyahu says

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a coalition with Arab parties to form a government would be “a shame and a disgrace".

"It is forbidden - simply forbidden - to endanger Israel and to establish a government that relies on anti-Zionist Arab parties," he told crowds. 

He also said that Israel should not rely on Arab parties, which he described as being "opposed to our very existence".
