In an interview with an Israeli radio station, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said he believed that Nordic politicians did not want him to remain in office.

"Scandinavian governments have spent millions of dollars on a campaign to remove me from power," he said on the station Kol Israel.

"Western governments, but mostly Scandinavian...They know perfectly well why they prefer Buji and Livni to me," he added, referring to his opponents.

As head of the right-wing Likud party, Netanyahu faces a tough challenge from the centre and left in Israel's March 17th elections.

In a separate interview with Rega Radio he was reported to have said that "foreign governments, specifically Scandinavians, are part of a worldwide campaign to topple me", according to a translation posted on Twitter by Israeli blogger and journalist Tal Schneider.
