Bennett told his associates: “Right now I intend to run alone and not hook up with anyone – I will consider my steps in the coming days.”
People close to him told time that he was considering retiring from political life.
Commentator Amit Segal from News 12 also reported that Bennett will take the next few days to decide, not to rule out the possibility that he will retire.
Bennett decided to dissolve the Knesset after a conversation with the Attorney General last Friday – about the chaos that will be created if the Judea and Samaria regulations are not passed. “I am not ready to accept blackmail and threats. “If I harm the country because of the non-approval of the Judea and Samaria regulations, I will go,” Bennett said.
As Prime Minister, Yair Lapid is expected to remain in the post of Foreign Minister. Bennett will serve as the deputy prime minister, and will hold the Iran portfolio.
