In a statement early Tuesday, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bureau of transmitting false messages to several countries indicating that Ben Gvir would not be in the next government, and of fabricating a report about a 'calming meeting' between the two. Ben Gvir said the alleged meeting never happened, and expressed deep regret over what he described as increasing efforts to leave his Otzma Yehudit party out of the next coalition.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir accused the Prime Minister's Office early Tuesday of spreading false information regarding his political future. In a statement released on his channel, Ben Gvir claimed that the PM's bureau had transmitted messages to several countries suggesting he would not be part of the next government. He further alleged that the bureau fabricated a report about a 'calming meeting' between him and Prime Minister Netanyahu, which he says never took place. Ben Gvir expressed deep regret over what he described as a growing effort to sideline his Otzma Yehudit party from the next coalition. This latest accusation follows previous tensions between Ben Gvir and Netanyahu. In August, as The Zioneer reported, Ben Gvir warned that a potential unity government would halt judicial reform and change Israel's security policy. The political rift within the right-wing bloc continues to intensify.
