Bennett Suggests Netanyahu Could Join Future Government, Then Retracts
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett suggested Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could join a future government if he accepted its policies, but quickly retracted the statement after criticism from allies. Other opposition leaders, including Gadi Eisenkot and Yair Golan, firmly rejected any possibility of Netanyahu serving in government. Bennett later clarified his remarks were meant to illustrate absurdity, while Benny Gantz was the sole opposition figure to support a unity government. Polls show both pro- and anti-Netanyahu blocs are short of a majority needed to form a government.
