Netanyahu bars Likud MKs from speaking to press

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has barred members of his Likud party from taking interviews with the media.

This is a common practice in the premier’s party during sensitive security situations, but has also been employed by Netanyahu for political reasons.

The prime minister appears to be attempting to keep his cards close to his chest as exit polls indicate his right-wing, religious bloc won’t have enough seats to form a majority coalition on its own.
