The Minister for Regional Cooperation, Tzachi Hanegbi, spoke in an interview to Reshet B, about the appointment of Bennett to Defense Minister. "We made a defensive move, we know that the Blue and White party didn't try and have real dialogue with Bennett, rather they simply tried to pull away part of our bloc. Bennett is a appropriate candidate, he knows the appointment may be temporary. The Prime Minister is the one who decides on foreign and defense policy. Our bloc is strong, harmonious and stable. We will continue together in the next elections."
