Netanyahu apologizes for warning about Arab voters

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's post-election clarification tour continued Monday as he apologized for his last-minute warning about Arab voter turnout.

"I know that my comments last week offended some Israeli citizens and offended members of the Israeli Arab community," Netanyahu said. "This was never my intent. I apologize for this."

With the race tight, Netanyahu warned on election day that Arab voters were "being bused to the polling stations in droves," a claim widely interpreted as nakedly racist. Netanyahu also vowed just before the election to never allow for the creation of a Palestinian state, a promise he has since walked back.
