First move from Netanyahu in new government efforts

After the election, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with far-right Minister of National Security and leader of the Jewish Power Party, Itamar Ben-Gvir, as part of efforts to form a government. Ben-Gvir had a long meeting with Netanyahu yesterday.

In the statement made by the far-right party, "In the meeting between Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir, ways to preserve the right-wing government and prevent the establishment of a left-wing government with the support of 'terror supporters' were discussed." It was said.

According to Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir are worried that the opposition bloc, in which Yashar Party leader Gadi Eisenkot stands out as the strongest name, will form a government with the support of parties representing Palestinians who are Israeli citizens.
