Bezalel Smotrich responds to the publication of recordings in which he speaks out strongly against Netanyahu.

“Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I are working in full and close cooperation, and, together, we successfully led the fight over the past year to bring down the bad Lapid-Bennett government with the Muslim Brotherhood.”

He says, “It is unsurprising that there are those who would choose this timing to try and divide the [right-wing] camp out of stress and panic over the right’s return to power according to all the polls. It won’t help them.”
