Jewish Power Slams Netanyahu's Office Over 'Empty Statements' on Ben Gvir

The far-right party Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) has escalated its rhetoric against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, accusing it of hypocrisy regarding statements about party leader Itamar Ben Gvir. Otzma Yehudit claims there is a significant gap between private messages allegedly sent by the Prime Minister's office to foreign countries stating Ben Gvir would not be in the next government, and public declarations supporting his inclusion.

The party asserted that the Prime Minister's office is employing a tactic of simultaneously sending messages abroad suggesting Ben Gvir's exclusion from a future government, campaigning for a unity government, and boycotting joint appearances with him, while publicly issuing "empty statements" about his continued role.

Otzma Yehudit stated, "The Prime Minister's office's method of sending messages to countries around the world that Ben Gvir will not be in the next government, issuing a campaign for a unity government, and boycotting joint appearances and photos with Minister Ben Gvir, while on the other hand issuing empty statements that Ben Gvir will be in the next government, is a deep contempt for right-wing voters."

This sharp response comes amid ongoing political maneuvering and public statements concerning the composition of future Israeli governments and the roles of various political figures.
