Otzma Yehudit Accuses Netanyahu of Planning to Replace It With Eisenkot

Otzma Yehudit accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of preparing to leave Itamar Ben Gvir and his party out of the next government and bring in Gadi Eisenkot. The party issued the allegation after Netanyahu told an election conference in Acre that the defense, national security and justice portfolios would remain with Likud. It argued that his remarks pointed toward replacing its place in the coalition and handing the ministries to the left. Ben Gvir posted his own response saying voters alone would decide.
