Struk Bramz Laban Gabir: "I will not save the life of the government, history will come to account with it"

The crisis in the government: Turbulent days are passing by the Netanyahu government, with the crisis between the Likud and Otzma Yehudit at the center of the storm, and the exchange between the ruling party and the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gabir . In the meantime, the Minister of Settlement and National Tasks, Orit Struck , commented on the storm today (Friday), and emphasized that "whoever destroys the life of this government, history will reckon with him, and so will the public."

In a tweet on her personal Twitter account, Minister Struck added that "We are in a government of dreams. A government that fulfills many dreams in all areas – Torah, Israel, Negev, Galilee, Judea and Samaria, education, mental health, its owners in governance and more. True, it does not fulfill everything , but many dreams that we hardly dared to dream – yes."

The crisis in the government broke out last Wednesday, when members of Otzma Yehudit abandoned the plenum, in protest of cuts in the Negev and Galilee budgets, and as a result the opposition managed to pass three laws . Minister Ben Gvir even had a conversation with the Prime Minister, in which he clarified "We are in a serious crisis, if the Likud wants elections instead of a budget for the Negev and the Galilee – go ahead."

The conversation that took place between the two was short, during which they discussed the increase in the budget. The Prime Minister made it clear to the Minister that he will make an effort to increase the budget for the Negev and the Galilee. Sources close to Ben Gabir said that a similar conversation took place between the two a few days ago, and even then Netanyahu claimed that he would make an effort, but the issue did not progress. Minister Ben Gabir also said at the meeting that "we are in a serious crisis. After all, you are the prime minister, and if your finance minister takes money from the Negev and the Galilee, transfers it to other places and leaves them with only 450 million shekels – it is not reasonable, it is impossible."

According to the chairman of Otzma Yehudit, "Bezalel Smotrich is doing harm to all of us, turning us into sectoral, sectoral, people who give jobs to associates. Instead of taking care of the periphery, the Negev and the Galilee, instead of letting the public in Israel as a whole, Minister Smotrich is taking us to the bad places." According to my close friend Ben Gabir, during that conversation the Prime Minister listened, but did not promise a concrete solution, and only said that he would look into the issue.

According to the people of Otzma Yehudit, against the background of these things Ben Gabir said in closed conversations: "We are in a real crisis, the prime minister needs to get into this issue and solve it. He has a responsibility as the prime minister. We heard briefings from the Likud today, they talked about elections. If the Likud wants to go to the elections instead Give a budget to the Negev and the Galilee – go ahead. We came to the government to take care of the periphery and personal security."

In the meantime, senior officials in the coalition attacked Ben Gabir and claimed: "Itamar Ben Gabir cares more about media coverage than maintaining the right-wing government and the integrity of the coalition. In the government, problems are solved together, and unlike his spinsters, he is not the only one who cares about the Negev and the Galilee. Maybe it really is better that the government be overthrown , we will go to the elections, and the public will throw out the one who overthrew the right-wing government. The rise of a left-wing government will be on his head."
