The Guardian, The New York Times and Al Jazeera English report that Gadi Eisenkot, a former military chief trying to form Israel’s next government, accused caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday of fueling a “racist” campaign against Arab citizens. The New York Times says Netanyahu had days earlier called Arab lawmakers “terror supporters” and “haters of Israel” in a speech to parliament, and the Guardian says he sought to link them to Hamas. Eisenkot said Arab citizens had faced a campaign of delegitimisation since the election campaign began. The Guardian says Arab parties Raam and the Joint List won 19 seats last month, nearly a sixth of the 120-seat parliament.
