Ignoring his accusations, Likud tells Smotrich to ease up, quickly form government

The Likud party issues a one-sentence response to Religious Zionism’s lengthy statement airing its grievances in coalition talks, ignoring the accusations and urging Bezalel Smotrich to be more flexible in his demands for portfolios and other positions and quickly form a government.

“Bezalel, on a day of murderous terror attacks in which the public expects the formation of a government that will restore Israeli citizens’ security, drop the insistence on jobs and come sign this evening on forming a fully right-wing government,” Likud says.
