Ben-Gvir Claims Netanyahu Pledged to Keep Him Out of Next Gov't in Talks with European Countries

  • On Sunday, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir claimed the Prime Minister's Office pledged to European Union officials to exclude him from the next government following the October 27 elections.
  • Recent tensions between Likud and Otzma Yehudit have escalated as Ben-Gvir accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party of attempting to reduce his Knesset representation to five seats despite polling showing eight.
  • Addressing Netanyahu directly, Ben-Gvir warned against seeking legitimacy from the left, declaring, "Bibi needs a strong Ben-Gvir, not a strong Eisenkot," referring to opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot.
  • Likud subsequently denied the allegations as "political spin," arguing that any future government would invite all Zionist parties to join based on established coalition principles.
  • With the October 27 elections approaching, the dispute highlights the volatile relationship between the two partners, though Ben-Gvir insists he remains committed to Netanyahu's premiership.
