Former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked has sharply criticized her former political partner, Naftali Bennett, stating that he abandoned his ideological path. In an interview with Omri Asanaim, scheduled to air on Channel 13, Shaked was asked why she is not joining Bennett's party. She responded, "In the end, he decided to put ideology aside, and I didn't. I am a very ideological person; I don't give up my views, my feelings, my aspirations, and my ideology."

Shaked explained that Bennett, the former prime minister, has moved away from the political direction they shared for years. "Naftali Bennett was the head of a distinct right-wing party that represented religious Zionism and the ideological right. Today, he is something else. He is allied with Yesh Atid, and he is the head of a different party," she said.

When asked if Bennett had invited her to join him for the upcoming elections, Shaked avoided a direct answer. "It was a process in which we understood, both of us, that this partnership was not suitable, and as they say, we parted as friends," she stated.
