Israeli election: 'Netanyahu did not win, he lost dramatically,' former PM Barak says
France 24 [en] · middle east

Barak also suggested that claims of Qatari funding for an Arab party aimed to distract from an ongoing corruption scandal, and warned that Netanyahu was ready to strike Iran to stay in power.
