Minister Ben-Gvir and MKs of the Otzma Yehudit party will not participate in the government meeting that is taking place now. "Over the past few days, the Prime Minister and Minister of Defense are continuing their policy [of weakness], releasing the Jordanian [MP who tried to smuggle arms into Israel], giving back the bodies of terrorists, and more," read a statement by the faction.
"This is not acceptable to us and cannot continue like this," it added. "The policy must change, the government must switch to a completely right-wing policy. We received a mandate from the public to change direction - and it must happen."
