In reaction to the Merkaz Harav terror attack on March 6, 2008, in which 8 students were killed:
The secular leaders of the State of Israel are placing us in danger. Here there is a greater danger than any other place, because things are more serious here due to the holiness of Eretz Yisroel. They put us in danger by rebelling against the Three Oaths. That’s why the situation in Eretz Yisroel is more dangerous than elsewhere. Only the Torah and mitzvos that Jews keep here provide protection.
As our Sages say, if the gentile nations only knew what benefit the Temple brings them, they would place guards to prevent it from being destroyed. They come to undermine the Torah, unaware that the Torah is protecting them. If they knew, they would give anything to help scholars sit and study. In any case, they are truly endangering us.
I will tell you the truth. You see what happened, G-d spare us, at Yeshiva Merkaz Harav. Why did it happen there, of all places? You’ll say, the terrorist just happened to walk in there? Nonsense. There is a message from Heaven here. And why was it religious settlers in particular who were expelled at Gush Katif? Because this whole idea, this worldview that holds this is the redemption, this entire state and all that is in it, is the opposite of our faith and is a violation of the Three Oaths. It’s terrible. And those who keep Torah and mitzvos are held to a higher standard when their worldview is wrong.
Someone came to tell me that they announced the massacre on the radio, and a second later they said, “Now we return to the basketball stadium,” as if nothing happened. The person came to me in a state of shock. “Why are you so shocked?” I asked him. “The leaders here don’t care about anything. For a little glory, they are constantly killing people. Like that wicked man (Ben-Gurion) and the one with the missing eye (Moshe Dayan) made the war in Sinai in order to go down in history. They murder in a terrible way. What copious tears the Satmar Rebbe cried over the blood that was shed! That’s how everything goes. Everything is their personal calculations and they don’t care about anything. They are exactly like the worst of the nations, on the lowest level. It’s terrible! They have taken power here and they do whatever they wish. (Speech given to his students on Monday, March 10, 2008)

In reaction to the Bennett/Lapid government of 2021-2022, which included the Arab Joint List:
I must tell you, the Gemara says in Sanhedrin, “The son of Dovid will not come until the low government is gone from Israel” as Scripture says (Yishaya 18:5): He will cut the branches with pruning shears.” (Sanhedrin 98a) Rashi explains: “Until Israel will have no rulership, even a minor and lowly one.” Then the geulah will come. The state here, may Hashem spare us, has some kind of rulership. This has to become botel (nullified) before moshiach. “Until the low government is gone from Israel”. The holy Rashi says, “will have no rulership, even a minor and lowly one.” It has to become botel! And you see that this is happening now, but it’s happening in an abnormal way, they are crazy, they brought in the Arabs [into the coalition].
They say there will a fifth election. And I say, they can only count to five? There will be more. But what direction is it going? The low government is disappearing. Chazal say it. It’s amazing. They say in the name of the Chazon Ish, “One day they will wake up in the morning and there will be no state.” How will it happen so suddenly? I never understood. But that is where it’s headed now, as we see. How is this relevant to us? We see that now we have to take advantage of the time, because as soon as we hear the shofar of moshiach comes, our work is over. We won’t be able to do anything. Now it’s still possible to work, with Hashem Yisborach’s help, to strengthen ourselves in Torah and Yiras Shamayim and good midos. And may be all be zocheh to the coming of moshiach tzidkeinu. (Speech on June 28th, 2022)

The Mashgiach left it unclear whether it would be a good idea for Jews to vote for the Arab party in order to assist in bringing an end to the state.
