Far-right MK who demanded justice ministry rips PM after being passed over

Union of Right-Wing Parties MK Bezalel Smotrich, who was lobbying for the post of justice minister, congratulates Likud MK Amir Ohana after Prime Minister Netanyahu selects him for the role.

“But he isn’t the story,” Smotrich writes on Twitter. “The story is that Netanyahu wouldn’t treat any of his other partners like he allows himself to treat religious Zionists.”

“It is time we draw conclusions,” he adds.
