Some of the members of the Knesset who are considered to be a group within the Likud that demands senior and influential positions in the government and in the next coalition were seen last night at the Knesset cafeteria with Netanyahu’s close advisors and were the ones who interpreted this as an attempt to reach an agreement on the positions they will receive | The gang leader vehemently denied
Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu’s chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, met last night (Thursday) with Knesset members David Bitan and Israel Katz, in an attempt to reach an agreement with them regarding the distribution of the portfolios and the positions they will receive in the emerging government. This is what Michael Shemesh reported in ‘Kan 11’. Member Knesset Danny Danon still operates independently and was absent from the Knesset votes yesterday, without coordination with the Likud.
According to the report, Bitan, Katz and Danon, along with Knesset member David Amsalem, threatened at the beginning of the month that if Netanyahu does not meet their demands, they will thwart the passage of laws. The four, who act as a “faction within a faction”, are preparing for the possibility that Netanyahu will remove them from the division of the cases. They planned to thwart the Norwegian law in the first stage and then, when they take positions of power in the Knesset, they will try to thwart Netanyahu’s legislation. The Knesset members who are disappointed with Netanyahu have no plan to harm the legislation of the other political partners.

Knesset member Israel Katz denied the report and wrote on his Twitter account: “A friendly meeting this evening, around a table in the Knesset buffet, with members David Bitan and Ofir Akunis and Netanyahu’s advisors Brverman and Topaz, with a lot of nostalgia and humor, presented by journalist Michael Shemesh as a meeting.” M on roles. Even without asking for a response. To the DM (there were never any words. K.E.)”.
