Settler leader against Trump plan snubbed by Likud, embraced by Yamina
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Likud party refuses to allow a settler leader to join a faction meeting in the Knesset to voice his objections to the Trump administration’s peace plan, prompting the right-wing opposition Yamina party to host him instead.
David Elhayani is embraced by Yamina, which says it will always be home to the pro-settlement right in a statement describing the incident.
“A right-wing party cannot refuse to host the representatives of the settlements who are currently sensing a real danger to their life’s work,” Yamina says.
Elhayani drew ire earlier this month from Netanyahu for his criticism of the peace plan and for saying Donald Trump is no friend of Israel.
