deputy minister Avi Maoz informed the Prime Minister this evening (Monday). Benjamin Netanyahu for his resignation from the government. In the letter he sent to the Prime Minister, he explained that his resignation was due to the fact that he did not receive what was promised to him in the coalition agreement.
“I have tried throughout the last two months, since the formation of the government, to act to implement the agreements between us, while creating cooperation with the ministers, to cancel the procedures of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Welfare and the Ministry of Health from the time of the Lapid government, procedures whose purpose is to change our foundational concepts as the people of Israel and of the family The Jewish”, he wrote.
In response, the chairman of Naamat, Hagit Par, said: “There is nothing but to welcome the resignation of a person who symbolizes darkness, hatred and prejudice like Avi Maoz. This is a person who does not deserve to be a minister in the State of Israel. Maoz claims that the coalition agreements with him were not respected – if indeed so, Very good. Goodbye and bye bye.”
As I recall, earlier Likud senior officials attacked Ben Gabir and ‘Otzma Yehudit’ in light of their absence from the 40 signatures debate in the Knesset. “The absence of Ben Gabir and ‘Otzma Yehudit’ from today’s vote in the Knesset is an irresponsible act against the right-wing government. When there is a left-wing vote against the right-wing government – everyone stands up,” they said. In response, Otzma Yehudit said: “The containment policy of Netanyahu and the Likud since the formation of the right-wing government is an irresponsible act. When there is terrorism by terrorists against Israelis – Israel should strike terror and not surrender to it.”
At the same time, the Torah Jewish Auxiliary also decided to boycott the debate because of “non-respect of coalition agreements” surrounding the budget. However, a dispute in Torah Judaism and Netanyahu’s promise to resolve the crisis led to the party taking part in the vote after the debate.
