Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday of promising European countries that Ben-Gvir would not be part of the next government. Ben-Gvir stated that he had verified information indicating the Prime Minister's office had officially committed to several EU nations that he would be excluded from a future government.
The Likud party vehemently denied Ben-Gvir's claims, calling them "false political spins" and "friendly fire." They asserted that Netanyahu had clarified that any future government would include the current coalition's core partners and that any Zionist party would be invited to join based on their existing platform and composition.
This exchange follows similar public disagreements between Likud and Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party last month. At that time, reports emerged suggesting the Prime Minister's office had conveyed messages to various countries indicating Otzma Yehudit would not be part of a future government, which Likud also denied. The party accused Ben-Gvir of engaging in "bluff" and urged him to focus on preventing a "left-wing government" instead of attacking Likud.
