Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly addressed claims made by Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, who alleged that Netanyahu had promised European leaders he would not include Ben-Gvir in the next government. Speaking during a political tour in a shopping mall, Netanyahu stated his intention to include Ben-Gvir in his upcoming government, promising him a senior ministerial position. "He will be with us, he will be a senior minister in the government," Netanyahu declared, refuting Ben-Gvir's earlier accusations.
Ben-Gvir had previously held a press conference, accusing the Prime Minister's office of officially committing to several European Union countries that he would not be part of the next government. He claimed this message was conveyed to foreign ministers and higher-ranking officials in European nations. These sharp accusations sparked a public confrontation between the two parties ahead of elections.
The Likud party quickly dismissed Ben-Gvir's statements, labeling them "false political spins" and accusing him of "friendly fire." The party emphasized that Netanyahu intends to form the next government with the current coalition partners.
