Before Prime Minister Bennett finally relinquished the government last night (Monday), his decision was preceded by attempts by Ayelet Shaked to form a right-wing government in the current Knesset.
Shaked realized in the last two weeks that the business was over and tried to form an alternative government, and she informed Bennett of her actions.
In recent days, they have realized that this is not possible, that there is no right-wing government in this Knesset and that business is going to be dispersed.
Once Bennett realized from Auerbach that dispersal was inevitable, he made the decision to make the move himself.
Bennett made the decision to dissolve the government while Shaked was on a flight to Morocco, and when she landed, she received the news from her party chairman.
A source in Bennett's office who was present during the conversation with Morocco brings more details from the telephone conversation between Bennett and Shaked in Morocco, minutes before Bennett announced that it was over:
A call of crying and screaming of Ayelet, who came in below and begged Bennett not to do this to her and to postpone everything until she returned.

A source in Bennett's office revealed to the media man, Yaakov Bardugo, details of the conversation between the prime minister and Shaked, in which, according to the same source, the interior minister cried, shouted and begged Bennett not to do it for her and postponed the move until she returned to Israel.
Shaked: "Do not believe the rumors"
Shaked uploaded a video of her visit to Morocco to her Instagram account, and asked: "I suggest you do not believe the rumors of journalists and associates in the media - everything is nonsense."
On the political crisis, she said: "I have heard that things are happening in Israel, but I am continuing the mission I have here as usual. Strengthening ties with Morocco and bringing in new workers for nursing and construction."
