Transport Minister Miri Regev today (Thursday) addressed a right-wing party chairman, Naftali Bennett, during a live broadcast, signing a letter stating that he is committed to forming a stable right-wing government and thus does not support the government headed by Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid. During the broadcast, Regev told Bennett: “You do not stop biasing the public and stealing public opinion,” adding that “you say you are right-wing but you are actually Lapid’s voice contractor.”
Regev then sent Bennett a letter of signature stating that he pledged not to be part of a left-wing government led by Lapid and in partnership with Gideon Saar. He will also support the establishment of a stable right-wing party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Bennett’s response was not long in coming, and so he wrote to her in the WhatsApp conversation between them: “Miri – I already hoped that you would announce your resignation due to the failure of the mutations at Ben Gurion Airport”, adding: “NB. Say, is there a moment that Ashkara cares about people and does not do politics? Rabak, people here are collapsing. “

Bennett posted on his Facebook page the photo of the conversation between them and added: “Unlike Regev, I am a right-winger. I did not speak out about the disengagement and did not try to be accepted into the Labor Party (Ehud Barak refused it). So it goes without saying “.
Bennett later issued a more detailed response: “Mr. Netanyahu, I do not sign any documents for you because I do not work for you but for our wonderful people who sent Miri Regev to call them human haters. The citizens that Tzachi Hanegbi said are not hungry among them because everything is regrettable. The citizens whose children have disappeared for a whole year in front of the screens when your failed Minister of Education gives himself a score of 90. Citizens of Israel, I promise you – I will not let Bibi, Miri Regev, Yvette and Lapid drag us to a fifth election that will tear our people apart. Of course I will not make Lapid prime minister – with or without rotation because I am a right-wing man. And for me, values have meaning. ‘
