"As soon as Netanyahu makes a decision, Levin will have to respect it": After David Bitan said in an interview with Israel Hayom that "Levin harms the Likud," the Knesset member was a guest at a cultural event on Saturday morning and spoke about the internal tension simmering in the Likud over the talks at the president's residence.
"The prime minister is Netanyahu, that's clear," he said after being asked by Dafna Liel who really decides which direction the government will go. "There are internal pressures that Yariv Levin creates. He became very strong in the Likud, and as part of the coalition negotiations, when he was given freedom of action, he allowed the coalition partners to get a lot of things – so they owe him a lot of things. Even within the Likud there are many people who owe him appointments to serve and within Norwegian law. He got stronger.
Bitan in Shabculture: "Levin creates internal pressures, but Netanyahu will decide"
"But still, once Netanyahu makes a decision, nothing will help Levin. I expect him to make the decision that he is suspending the reform, especially regarding things on which there is no agreement. As for what there is agreement, we need to move forward. Lapid and Gantz need to understand that they need to make things easier for Netanyahu – there are great pressures on him."
