Trump wants to “make sure” Ben-Gvir is excluded from Netanyahu’s next government, with Smotrich also potentially targeted as Israel’s blocs lack a clear majority
Ynet reported that sources close to U.S. President Donald Trump say he wants to ensure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu excludes Itamar Ben-Gvir from his next government. The sources said Trump considers a government that includes Ben-Gvir “out of the question”; Bezalel Smotrich may also face pressure to stay out.
The post says Trump and Netanyahu reached an understanding covering Iran, Netanyahu’s possible departure from office and efforts to expand the Abraham Accords.
