Jewish Power (Otzma Yehudit) has issued a sharp response to the Likud party's criticism of Itamar Ben-Gvir, accusing the Likud of being responsible for "shooting in the APC" and denying responsibility. The party emphasized its "100% commitment" to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while also claiming Netanyahu stated Ben-Gvir would not serve as National Security Minister in the next term. Jewish Power pointed to an interview by Ambassador Leiter on CNN, where they allege he said the next government would be a unity government without Ben-Gvir. The party also cited reports that the Prime Minister's Office had communicated to European countries that Ben-Gvir would not be included in the next government. Furthermore, Jewish Power asserted that statements from Likud officials and the party's official campaign indicate an intention to form a broad government. "The attack from the Likud hurts us," a statement read. "If the Likud has decided to discard Ben-Gvir and form a government with Ayzenkot, the Likud should openly stand behind its decision instead of blaming the victim." This response follows Likud's accusation that Ben-Gvir spread lies against Netanyahu, though Likud also stressed he is expected to be a senior member of the next government if the bloc forms it.
