Minister and Knesset Member Bezalel Smotrich (Yamina) told Kan Reshet Bet: "At the moment we seem to be going to the opposition, because there is no negotiation. We understand the complexity of the government and cannot allow ourselves to take responsibility for everything it will do, because we don't have the ability to influence."
He added that "throughout the negotiations we have raised a red flag and said not to give up the justice portfolio. Netanyahu has given up on it to remain prime minister. "
