Ben Gvir says Netanyahu pledged to exclude him from next government as election nears

Itamar Ben Gvir has stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to exclude him from a future government coalition following the upcoming October 27 election. This claim emerges as political maneuvering intensifies ahead of the vote, with Netanyahu reportedly encouraging a new Haredi party to withdraw from the race to consolidate support.

Simultaneously, the former chief rabbi has publicly urged voters to avoid supporting Ben Gvir’s party. These developments highlight the shifting political alliances and internal pressures facing Netanyahu as he seeks to secure a governing majority in the final stages of the election cycle.
