Otzma Yehudit MK Cites Ideological Differences with Ben-Gvir for Knesset Exit
Tzvika Fogel, a Knesset member who withdrew from the upcoming election list for the Otzma Yehudit party, stated on social media platform X that his departure was not due to demands for a ministerial position. Fogel explained that party leader Itamar Ben-Gvir made it clear that Fogel's "state-oriented approach" did not align with Ben-Gvir's vision for the party's future composition.
Fogel, who chaired the Knesset's National Security Committee during the previous term, asserted that he is "completely at peace" with his actions as a Knesset member, committee chair, and head of the Otzma Yehudit faction. His withdrawal comes after he was reportedly sidelined in the party's electoral slate for the 26th Knesset.
