The chairman of the New Hope Party, Gideon Saar, addressed today (Monday) at the Maariv-Jerusalem Post conference the battle of accusations between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and right-wing chairman Naftali Bennett and called on Bennett to announce that he did not sit in the Netanyahu government.
“I think Bennett should shake off this patronage of Netanyahu and announce that he will not enter his government and that change is needed,” Saar said. “It is a great pity that he is not doing this, because it means that the next Netanyahu government can be formed by right-wing votes.”
Netanyahu in a message to the right-wing chairman: Give up the rotation
Earlier today, Netanyahu released a new video in which he called on Bennett to declare that he commits himself to the government without Yair Lapid as part of it and without rotation. “I pledge to form a broad right-wing government without rotation and certainly without Yair Lapid in the government,” Netanyahu said in the video. “And now, I ask you, Naftali Bennett, to commit to a government without a torch in any position and without rotation. Commit.”
Bennett did not remain obligated and said at a conference of the Besheva newspaper: “Hearing the word commitment from Netanyahu is a bit like putting Yoram Les as a presenter against Corona, it’s a bit like hearing Inbal Or’s lecture on a proper manager, it’s like you click on Wise on ‘I’m Not the driver. “

Bennett added: “It is the same Netanyahu who swore that he would turn Khan al-Ahmar and today Khan al-Ahmar is already a small city. It is the same Netanyahu who swore time and time again, just before the election, ‘We will apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.’ It is the same Netanyahu who said “We will rotate without tricks and without sticks,” and by the time he completes the sentence, he has already broken the rotation with Bnei Gantz. “
The Likud party commented on Bennett’s remarks at the seventh conference via the party’s Twitter account and wrote: “Bennett refuses to commit to forming a stable right-wing government without a torch in the government and without rotation. The choice is clear: And without a failed rotation, which will jumpstart our economy after the corona. “
