Defense Minister Naftali Bennett said at a press conference on Thursday that all reports about a negotiation between his party, Yamina, and Likud are “spin” and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “no intention of letting us into [the coalition].”
Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz said the swearing-in of the new government will be postponed until Sunday, leading some to hope that Yamina might eventually join it.
