In an interview with N12 News, PM Bennett responded to rumors that the Joint Arab List headed by MK Ayman Odeh would come onboard the government following MK Idit Silman's bolting the coalition and losing its majority.
Bennett said that, "people should stop listening to rumors spread by the opposition" and that there was no chance the party would join forces with the current government.
He also referred to Silman's departure, recounting how "Smotrich and Netanyahu supporters" had "hounded" the former Yamina MK, calling her a "traitor" and "scoundrel."
Bennett said he "understood" where Silman was coming from and "felt" her frustration.
