Netanyahu admits he is mistaken

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has admitted that he committed a series of mistakes during his three years in power, but he did not indicate these mistakes.

This was expressed in a call Netanyahu made on Monday night via Israeli television channels just few days before the general Israeli elections. In its Tuesday report, the BBC described the situation of Netanyahu and his electoral battle as weakening.

The Leader of the Israeli Shas movement, Arieh Deri, who has been convicted of corruption, has given a slap to Netanyahu by announcing his readiness to "back the Labor Party instead of Netanyahu in case that good promises will be adopted by the Labor Party." Deri's statements came in the context of political bargains usually precede these Israeli elections.

However, Netanyahu voiced his solidarity with Deri, though the latter was convicted of corruption, in his attempt to get support from Shas movement, which is considered the third largest Israeli party in the Israeli Knesset.

Observers expect that Netanyahu will find great difficulty in the success of forming a new Israeli government if he does not win Shas' backing, which was given to him formally today according to a CNN report.
