Minister of Transport, Betzalel Smotrich, responded to Yair Lapid's call to Netanyahu to "leave Litzman and Smotrich," and the right wing bloc.

"Lapid prefers Ahmad Tibi to Ya'akov Litzman and Ofer Kasif to Smotrich. A government of supporters of terror and objectors to Zionism is preferred to a government with his religious-Zionism and haredi brothers. Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are."
