Once again there is a serious tension in Israeli politics. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making strategic moves to preserve his dwindling political dominance in the country and hold on to power. As a part of this, he is lashing out at the Arab political parties in Israel.
Netanyahu intensified his political campaign by accusing Arab parties of becoming a major threat to the country's internal security and Jewish interests. Political analysts believe that Netanyahu, who has been holding the reins of Israel for a long time, has opened the door to this kind of aggressive politics in the wake of recent surveys showing that he is losing public support. He openly criticizes the political parties representing the Arab citizens of the country for colluding with anti-national forces and endangering national security. He seems to be using this controversial issue as his main weapon to preserve his coalition government in Parliament and unite the moderate voters. Leaders of Arab parties strongly denied Netanyahu's accusations.
They alleged that the Prime Minister was inciting class differences in the society by making baseless allegations against them just for political gain. They expressed concern that the government's policies are curtailing the rights of Arab citizens living peacefully in Israel. Middle East political observers point out that this political strategy followed by Netanyahu is making Israel's internal politics more complicated as the upcoming elections approach.
