Appearing on CNN’s The Lead on Tuesday afternoon, chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his Likud Party and “right-wing” allies for having “a sort-of racist police towards” Arabs that has been “very scary for them” as the world awaited results from the national elections in Israel.

Host Jake Tapper brought Amanpour into the discussion by mentioning a YouTube video released by Netanyahu’s party on Tuesday morning telling supporters to head to the polls after accusations that Arabs were being transported to the polls by, in the words of Tapper, “left-leaning organizations.”
