🇮🇱⚡- Bezalel Smotrich, Finance Minister of Israel, has submitted his resignation.

Smotrich's Religious Zionist (RZ) Party blasts Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit (OY) Party for not keeping its 'commitments' as part of the coalition. Smotrich requested the reinstatement of former OY Party and current RZ Party member Zvi Sukkot into the Knesset. Ben-Gvir opposed, demanding his party should receive the additional Knesset position, which should go towards Yitzhak Kroizer.

The collapse of the far-right coalition risks the pro-Likud Bloc losing majority in the Knesset.

🇮🇱 - Reports of Smotrich resigning are false, his resignation will not be accepted by the Prime Minister's Office, as it risks the collapse of the fragile Likud government.

Ben-Gvir did not demand extra Knesset seats, the additional Knesset position was given to the far-right coalition and was therefore debated by both Smotrich and Ben-Gvir.

Smotrich will resume his duties after the Knesset votes which of the two parties between Ben-Gvir led Otzma Yehudit or Smotrich led Religious Zionist Party receives the Knesset ministerial position.
