Bennett said to tell Netanyahu he’s willing to join government with Ra’am
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe main message Naftali Bennett is conveying to Prime Minister Netanyahu in their meeting is that he’s willing to enter any right-wing government, but that the premier is responsible for splitting Bezalel Smotrich from himself and now has to deal with the consequences, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
Smotrich opposes a government propped up by the Islamist Ra’am party, denying Netanyahu a potential majority. The premier is trying to persuade him to change that stance.
Channel 13 news reports that Bennett will say he’s willing to join a coalition with Ra’am if Smotrich changes course.
