Ben Gvir announces party  not committed to coalition discipline

Otzma Yehudit party leader Itamar Ben Gvir delivered a firm message today (Wednesday) to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating: "In light of the fact that the Prime Minister is hiding the draft agreement with Hamas that includes a clause to end the war, Otzma Yehudit will vote according to the dictates of its conscience and will not be committed to the coalition's position in Knesset votes."

This unusual announcement comes after Ben Gvir recently stated that Netanyahu was misleading him by not showing him the outline for the release of hostages: "On Friday evening, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, gave a speech and presented a deal, supposedly on behalf of the State of Israel. The details of the deal, as presented by President Biden, show that it is a deal that means the surrender of Israel and the end of the war without achieving its main goal of destruction Hamas."
