Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir clash over election fears
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the division of right-wing parties and their participation in the elections with separate lists could lead to their defeat. He called on National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to unite in order to secure a unified victory in the upcoming elections. He emphasized that the Israeli right-wing has historically won when united and lost when divided, citing the 1992 election results as an example, which were caused by the dispersal of votes among small right-wing parties. He warned that a similar scenario could unfold again. Ben Gvir responded by criticizing Netanyahu, accusing him of trying to weaken the Jewish Power Party to facilitate other alliances, in a move that reflects increasing tensions within the right-wing camp ahead of the upcoming elections.
