- The Likud party denied claims by Itamar Ben-Gvir that Prime Minister Netanyahu promised European countries he would not be in the next government.
- Likud called Ben-Gvir's statements "false political spins and friendly fire."
- The party affirmed Prime Minister Netanyahu's commitment to maintaining the current coalition.
- Likud stated that any Zionist party is invited to join the government based on their principles.
- The dispute centers on Ben-Gvir's potential role in a future Israeli government.
The Likud party has strongly refuted claims made by National Security Minister and Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir, who alleged that the Prime Minister's office had committed to European countries that he would not serve in the next government. In a statement released Tuesday evening, Likud declared Ben-Gvir's assertions to be "false political spins and friendly fire." The party emphasized that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to maintain the current coalition partnership. "The opposite is true," the Likud statement read, "the Prime Minister clarified that any government will include the base of the current coalition partners, and any Zionist party will be invited to join based on our foundational principles and the current composition."
Ben-Gvir's claim suggested that Netanyahu had assured European Union nations that the controversial minister would be excluded from a future government. The Likud's response directly contradicts this, asserting Netanyahu's commitment to the existing coalition and extending an open invitation to other "Zionist parties" to join under their established platform.
