在接受法国24台采访期间，以色列前总理埃胡德·巴拉克表示，总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡本周在以色列的选举中“没有赢”，而是“惨败”；他的对手加迪·艾森科特应与阿拉伯政党结盟。
In an interview with FRANCE 24, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "did not win" this week's election in Israel but "lost dramatically", and that his rival Gadi Eisenkot should ally with Arab parties.
巴拉克还暗示，卡塔尔资助阿拉伯政党的说法旨在转移人们对正在进行的腐败丑闻的注意力，并警告内塔尼亚胡为了维持权力，准备对伊朗发动打击。
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.
