Chairman of the Religious Zionism party, MK Bezalel Smotrich, responded to coalition chair Idit Silman's quitting the government, leading to it losing its current majority and a possible election in the coming future.

"This is the dawn of a new day - the beginning of the end for Bennett's non-Zionist left-wing government and the Islamic Movement, and its replacement by a Jewish, Zionist coalition. Much praise to MK Silman for the courage to do the difficult but right thing that needed to be done...," said Smotrich in praise of the MK's move.
