(16,082 posts)Netanyahu now has a mandate....which means that he'll have to back up his rhetoric with actions!
The Palestinians are now the target....and Netanyahu will have to take action against them in order to remain in power. The West Bank will be slowly taken over by Israel and the Palestinians that live there will be given the choice of moving to Gaza or leaving the country!
