Close associates of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused, this evening, Wednesday, the so-called Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, and members of his party in the Knesset, of trying to seek to dismantle the current government coalition through the steps they are taking.

The Hebrew website Ynet quoted those sources as saying that if Ben Gvir and his party members continue to behave the way they do after they were absent today for the first time from voting on bills in favor of the government coalition in the Knesset, then it is better to dismantle the coalition and go to new elections and let the public fall. Who was the reason for that (referring to Ibn Ghafir).

Ben Gvir's party attributed its absence from voting in the Knesset session to reasons related to the new budget and the failure to allocate more money to them as agreed upon during the government coalition agreements, accusing Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich of ignoring them.
