After the recordings of Ayelet Shaked, in which the Interior Minister is heard attacking Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Bnei Gantz and estimates that the rotation will not take place, tonight (Thursday) it was reported in News 12 that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also thinks like his partner.
According to the publication, Bennett said in a closed conversation last month that he "estimates that the rotation will not take place. The government will most likely fall apart between the budget and the date of the exchange, for a variety of reasons."
According to the report, Bennett did not tell his interlocutors "I will not maintain the rotation", but estimated that other coalition partners would dissolve the government.
The announcement comes on the eve of the coalition's formation tomorrow in Modiin.
The Prime Minister's Office said: "As he said from the first moment - Prime Minister Bennett will abide by the rotation agreement in full. The partnership with the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid is based on mutual trust and fairness.
In anticipation of the transfer of the budget, which ensures the stability of the government, various quotations from different periods are published, as expected, which were said only as an estimate.
The budget will pass and the partnership will continue. "
Lapid responded: "Both Bennett and I have one goal - to pass a budget and strengthen the government. They will not distract me with leaks and recordings that are only meant to harm, do not engage in nonsense. They will not spoil the good atmosphere in the government. We will continue to work well together for the State of Israel." .
