Netanyahu summons rogue minister Smotrich amid pressure to jettison him
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 12 and Israel Radio report on Twitter that Netanyahu has summoned Bezalel Smotrich for a meeting.
Walla news reports that the meeting will be at 5 p.m. and Netanyahu still has not decided on firing the contumacious transportation minister, citing “those around Netanyahu.”
The prime minister is reportedly facing pressure from within Likud to give Smotrich the heave-ho.
