Netanyahu aide: Opposition MKs will defect to right to support coalition
Jonathan Urich, Netanyahu’s spokesperson, predicts that lawmakers from opposition parties will defect to join a right-wing government led by the Likud leader.
He makes the prediction in an early morning interview with Channel 12.
According to the network, Likud has already reached out to several prospective candidates believed to be willing to cross the aisle, including Blue and White MKs Yoaz Hendel, Zvi Hauser, Omer Yankelevich, and Gesher leader Orly Levy-Abekasis.
Hauser and Hendel have denied rumors they could jump ship.
