Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, declared on Monday that he would not join a government that allows aid trucks into Gaza. Speaking on 103fm radio, Feiglin stated, "I will not sit in a government that brings one truck into Gaza." He further emphasized that "Smotrich, Ben Gvir, Netanyahu, and this entire government bear responsibility for the entry of hundreds of trucks."
Feiglin's remarks serve as a clear message to his right-wing bloc colleagues that he is independent and intends to fully implement his right-wing agenda. This stance follows his previous comments on a Knesset Channel podcast, where he suggested that Netanyahu should have resigned immediately after October 7th.
In response, Minister Ben Gvir's office issued a statement asserting that Ben Gvir was the sole minister who opposed and voted against allowing aid trucks into Gaza. The statement also suggested that voting for Feiglin would result in supporting Smotrich, as Feiglin is merely one candidate on Smotrich's list, while voting for Ben Gvir strengthens someone actively fighting against aid entry.
