Bennett Closes Account with Deri and Gafni: 'They Cannot Be Part of the Government' | Listen

In an interview with 103FM, Bennett said that Deri and Gafni will not be part of a government under his leadership due to their opposition to drafting Haredim, defined settler violence as terrorism, and presented a plan to lower the cost of living.

In an interview with Radio 103FM with Anat Davidov and Gidon Oko, former Prime Minister and chairman of the Yashar party, Naftali Bennett, stated that Aryeh Deri and Moshe Gafni will not be able to be part of a government under his leadership, due to their opposition to drafting Haredim. Bennett called Deri a 'leader of draft evasion' and said that 'a draft evader will not sit in the cabinet,' and added that Goldknopf will also not be part. He referred to settler violence, saying that there is a minority in Judea and Samaria that breaks the law and engages in terrorism, and that the law must be enforced with a strong hand. Bennett presented a plan to lower the cost of living, which he attributes to concentration in the economy, and noted that Strauss holds 75% of the dairy desserts market and Unilever 90% of mayonnaise. He described the situation in Kiryat Shmona as a 'catastrophe,' with 60% empty, and called for a dramatic move.
