Trump administration expresses opposition to Ben Gvir and Smotrich in Israeli government

Breaking

American sources have informed Walla that US President Donald Trump wishes to see an Israeli government formed without National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. According to the reporting, Trump believes that settler violence undermines his regional vision and complicates its implementation.

This American preference comes as Netanyahu navigates coalition negotiations following the elections. The Trump administration’s position suggests potential pressure on coalition formation discussions and raises questions about the composition of Israel’s next government.
