Bennett: Ben Gvir Will Not Be a Minister in My Future Government Because He Is a Failure

SadaNews Translation - Naftali Bennett, leader of the "Bennett 2026" party, said on Friday that there is no place for Itamar Ben Gvir in any government he forms if he succeeds in the upcoming elections.

This statement came in a tweet he made via the "X" platform, after a recording of him from last night was broadcast, in which he stated that he does not boycott Ben Gvir (meaning he does not oppose allying with him).

Bennett clarified in his tweet, as translated by SadaNews, that if he forms a government, he will not include individuals whom he sees as unsuitable for his political orientations, and that he will seek to maintain balance and stability.

He described Ben Gvir as a failed minister who employs bullying and racist policies, which contradict the values of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, according to his claim.

Polls in Israel indicate that Bennett represents an important force in the upcoming elections that will compete with Likud and its leader Benjamin Netanyahu.

If Bennett allies with other partners such as Gadi Eizenkot, Benny Gantz, and others, they could form a coalition that would oust Netanyahu and his allies.
