🇮🇱 BREAKING: Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich Resigns
Smotrich, a member of Netanyahu’s war cabinet and head of the Religious Zionist Party, has resigned amid escalating tensions with fellow extremist Itamar Ben Gvir and PM Netanyahu.
Smotrich’s party accuses Ben Gvir’s Jewish Power faction of failing coalition obligations.
This was triggered by a fight over Knesset appointments. Smotrich pushed for Zvi Sukkot’s return, but Ben Gvir blocked it, demanding more power for his party.
Despite Smotrich’s resignation, Netanyahu’s coalition remains stable, having recently passed the 2025 budget in the Knesset.
