URWP said to have rebuffed Netanyahu request to demand Bennett, Shaked firings

Union of Right-Wing Parties MKs Rafi Peretz and Bezalel Smotrich refused a request by Prime Minister Netanyahu that they demand the firing of Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked from the education and justice ministries, according to Hebrew media reports.

The reported request was apparently aimed at allowing Netanyahu to portray his firing of Bennett and Shaked as the responsibility of Peretz and Smotrich.
