Netanyahu Vows Senior Role for Ben-Gvir in Future Government Amidst Election Spat

Netanyahu Vows Senior Role for Ben-Gvir in Future Government Amidst Election Spat

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Itamar Ben-Gvir will be a senior minister in his next government, countering Ben-Gvir's claims that Netanyahu's office promised European nations he would be excluded. The Likud party dismissed Ben-Gvir's allegations as "false political spins" and "friendly fire." The dispute comes amid disagreements over future ministerial posts, with Netanyahu intending to keep key security roles within Likud, rejecting Ben-Gvir's bid for Defense Minister. The tensions are escalating just eight days before the Knesset elections.
