Itamar Ben Gvir Accuses Netanyahu of Cynical Unity Call Amid Smotrich-Feiglin Talks
Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel's National Security Minister, sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a public letter. Ben Gvir expressed shock over reports of advanced negotiations for a political alliance between Bezalel Smotrich and Moshe Feiglin, allegedly brokered by Netanyahu. He claimed that Netanyahu's calls for unity with him were insincere and staged solely to pressure Feiglin into lowering his demands. Ben Gvir wrote, "It's one thing to boycott events I attend and be ashamed to be photographed with me, but to have an emotional call for unity be a cynical game as well?" He concluded his letter by reminding Netanyahu, "My name is Itamar Ben Gvir, not Benny Gantz."
