Otzma Yehudit leader Attorney Itamar Ben Gvir made a statement following the decision of Education Minister Rabbi Rafi Peretz to run with the New Right party and abandon the agreement with Otzma Yehudit.
"He who is called the Minister of Education stuck a knife in my back and in the back of 84,000 people who supported me. It was not only him but all the politicians in religious Zionism - Smotrich, Bennett and Shaked - all of them played a part."
"They told us how much they wanted and how wrong it was that Ben Gvir was running alone. We did everything to run together. These people are not interested in ideology, only in ego. It's a bunch that doesn't deserve leadership," Ben Gvir said.
