New Hope indicates it won’t join government even if Bennett PM first
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNew Hope leader Gideon Sa’ar indicates his right-wing party won’t join a government with Likud and Yamina, even if Benjamin Netanyahu allows Naftali Bennett to be prime minister first, for a year, as part of a rotation agreement.
Netanyahu’s proposal to Bennett “is not what New Hope voters voted for. New Hope voters voted for change,” says Sa’ar at a Knesset faction meeting.
Sa’ar’s rejection of the plan means Netanyahu still does not have sufficient support to form a right-wing government.
