Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich responded to a video showing Yaya Pink, a former official under the Bennett-Liberman-Abbas government, working to advance a Palestinian state. Smotrich warned that this is what would happen in an Eisenkot government, where the Democrats would evacuate settlements and establish a terror state. He said that without the Democrats, Eisenkot has no government, and called an Eisenkot government dangerous for Israel.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich released a statement Thursday evening responding to a video by journalist Yishai Friedman. The video, according to Smotrich, shows Yaya Pink, who served under the Bennett-Liberman-Abbas government, working to advance a Palestinian state. Smotrich warned that the same would occur in a government led by Gadi Eisenkot, with the Democrats party evacuating newly established communities in Judea and Samaria and establishing a 'terror state.' He added that without the Democrats, Eisenkot has no government, and called such a government dangerous for Israel. The Zioneer has previously reported on Smotrich's warnings against a potential Eisenkot-Bennett government, including on June 23.
