Prime Minister Naftali Bennett Meet today (Wednesday) with an MK Nir Orbach (Right) and the Minister of the Interior Ayelet Shaked In the Kirya in Tel Aviv. At the end of the round of meetings, Bennett is now holding another meeting with members of the right-wing faction, after which he will meet with the leaders of the coalition parties. This, as part of the battle that is being waged over the remaining MKs remaining on the right after the MK retires Edith Silman From the coalition.
Bennett’s meeting with Auerbach, who was on the verge of retirement, was intended to prevent a move similar to Silman’s after senior Likud officials have been in regular contact with him in recent days. Meanwhile, since the Knesset member’s announcement, the Prime Minister’s Office has been trying to achieve it, but without success.
Silman’s retirement did not reach Bennett like a thunderbolt on a clear day. Elkin, Saar and Shaked had warned him a week earlier that something was brewing around her, and the issue should not be taken lightly.
