The transport minister threatened, saying: "To the right, there will be no fig leaf in the left government, even if Netanyahu is headed" • He further said:

Minister of Transport Bezalel Smutritz of the right-wing party said Tuesday in an interview to Network B that he will not sit in government with MK Amir Peretz. "Amir Peretz is responsible for arranging the Bedouin settlement in the Negev - this is a red line. We will not sit in such a government. "

Smutrich threatened that if the concessions were as large as it seemed, and the emerging coalition would become "left-wing", he said, they would not be part of the government. "We will not be a fig leaf in the left government, even if Netanyahu is headed," the minister threatens. "Our commitment to the right block is value-based and ideological, so we are not prepared for the PM to turn his back on ideology."

Smutrich argues that at this rate, and the manner in which the negotiations are being conducted, there is concern that the next government will not be the right-wing government at all. "As more right-wing elements and interests move to the other side, we are certainly upset that there will not be a right-wing government."

The party seems to oppose the Likud and Prime Minister's moves in negotiations with Blue and White for unity, claiming that the Likud's concessions are too great. "I can't figure out how to give up the case file and give it to the other side. It's a dramatic case that affects almost everything that happens in Israel."

Just yesterday, MK Ayelet Shaked tweeted in the Twitter account: "The handing over of defense and justice ministries to the left means the ideological enslavement to the left and the destruction of the entire Justice Department revolution and the regulation effort we have led in recent years."

The Likud reacted last night to criticism from the right-wing party leaders for not accepting similar cases and for fearing that Netanyahu would "form a left-wing government" as they say.



A Likud official told Israel Today that "the security file was passed on to them, with explicit understanding and agreement on their part that it is only temporary for a transitional government." According to him, "It is an inscrutable insolence. All three of the major and significant cases were clear to them that they were temporarily accepted, as was Shas and Torah Judaism who have more mandates agreed to this arrangement because it was agreed on a one-off exclusion, that exclusion cannot become the standard." .
