Top Netanyahu ally: He has no intention of quitting politics

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has no intention of resigning as Likud leader or quitting politics if the Bennett-Lapid coalition takes office, a top ally says.

Public Security Minister Amir Ohana of Likud tells Channel 13: “If we are indeed going to the opposition, I expect Netayahu to chair the opposition, and I will do everything I can to assist him.”

Asked who in Likud might compete against Netanyahu in primaries for the party leadership, Ohana says: “I think that if anyone does decide to stand, it will be a mistake because they’ll be overwhelmingly defeated.”
