Alternate Prime Minister Naftali Bennett boycotted the most recent Cabinet meeting out of anger at Prime Minister Yair Lapid, Kan News reported,

According to the report, Bennett is angry about publications that came out against him regarding his requests in his role as alternate prime minister and especially around the request to create conditions for himself that will allow him to enjoy the conditions to which former prime ministers are entitled, including briefings, head of US President Joe Biden's visit to Israel tomorrow.

Sources involved in the Lapid-Bennett relationship claim that the alternate prime minister boycotted the Cabinet meeting on Sunday in protest against Lapid's conduct.

Bennett's absence was conspicuous because it was only Lapid's second Cabinet meeting as prime minister.
