Netanyahu says Likud and ultra-Orthodox together forever
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn private conversation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he won’t challenge his ties with ultra-Orthodox parties, Channel 12 reports.
Netanyahu on Wednesday published an op-ed vowing that he would not seek a unity government, but would form a strong right-wing government instead, without mentioning specific partners.
“We will stick [with the ultra-Orthodox parties] through fire and water,” the channel quotes him saying, without citing a source.
He does not offer the same commitment to far-right United Right, led by Ayelet Shaked, with whom he has clashed with in the past.
