Minister Itamar Ben Gvir gave an interview to Radio 103FM and revealed a personal sense of hurt from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to Ben Gvir, Netanyahu is working to keep him out of the next government, including through statements to foreign parties that the government will be formed 'without Ben Gvir.' Ben Gvir said: 'But I was your partner, I am your partner, I love you. Why do you need to go to various countries and tell them "without Ben Gvir"? That's a personal insult, it's not nice.' He admitted that his name is not popular worldwide, but claimed that receiving many mandates in the elections would prevent his exclusion. Ben Gvir also attacked Hili Tropper, Naftali Bennett, and Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, and accused Bennett of operating bots.
