Smutrich this evening addressed Saar and MK Naftali Bennett, right-wing chairman, and told them that they were given a "media hug" so that a question would lead to the formation of a left-wing government, he said.
"This is the same media that angered Sharon and forgot his promise 'Din Netzarim Kadin Tel Aviv', which is now challenging you. Do not give in to this hug. It is toxic, dangerous and very temporary. It will turn on you very quickly."
"I intend to invest all my time and lectures in the coming weeks to bring about the formation of a real right-wing government.
