Bennett: Coalition makeup will determine if sovereignty extended over West Bank
At a faction meeting for the right-wing Yamina party, leader Naftali Bennett says the election results are positive but that the composition of a future coalition will determine whether Israel will establish sovereignty over the West Bank.
“The election results are good for the right-wing bloc, but it’s not over. Our mission is to ensure that the right policies are implemented. The composition of the coalition will determine whether there will be sovereignty [established over the West Bank],” Bennett says.
“If left-wing people are brought in, there will not be sovereignty,” he adds.

Ayelet Shaked tells the meeting that the results of Monday’s election show that the public is in favor of a right-wing coalition.
“It is obvious from the results that there will be a right-wing government. This is a clear choice for the public,” she says.
