Dismissing reported Likud effort, Yamina MK asserts party won’t be split
Yamina MK Matan Kahana asserts that his party will not be fractured, dismissing an Army Radio report that said Likud is considering trying to force a split in the national religious party that would see Rafi Peretz and Bezalel Smotrich join the government while Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked would remain in the opposition.
“There is no chance there will be a split. We are united and will stay together. The ideologically right-wing, religious Zionist party will God willing be inside the government and if not, then we’ll be together in the opposition,” he tells 103 FM radio.
The parties have publicly sparred as coalition talks head into their final days.
