    Smotrich: I split from Bennett when he set goal of replacing Netanyahu

    Chairman of the Religious Zionist party Bezalel Smotrich addressed the new government in an interview on Kan News.

    "Since the election I have not been interviewed in the media at all, I have been involved up to my neck in forming a right-wing government, I have invested all my time and energy to prevent the formation of a left-wing government with terror-supporters. I also met with Bennett. There were also draft agreements, Naftali torpedoed it," he told Kalman Lieberman.

    "I separated from Bennett when he marked a goal for himself to replace Netanyahu, so he joined the Left. Everything was set up in advance."
