In the vicinity of Minister Ben-Gvir, reactions to the Prime Minister's speech at the UN and his interviews with various networks in the United States are as follows: "Otzma Yehudit will not allow peace in exchange for territories." In contrast, other coalition members praised the Prime Minister for his speech.
Those around Minister Ben-Gvir said, "The speech is very nice, and there are important statements in it, but the real question is its implication on the ground and how it will be expressed. If it remains within the framework of the speech, we totally support it! We are supporters and encouragers. He is leading an international agenda to promote the State of Israel, which is excellent. But if, in practice, they start making concessions and undermining sovereignty, it's a sign that Gantz is entering the picture. Otzma Yehudit will not allow peace in exchange for territories or peace in exchange for compromising Israel's sovereignty."
In contrast to Ben-Gvir, the coalition responds: "We continue to turn Israel into a power"
