Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked of Yamina, a close political ally of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, has been recorded talking down on coalition partners Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz and casting doubt on whether the premiership rotation agreement between Bennett and Lapid would be honored come 2023.
The recordings aired by Channel 12 news on Wednesday were the latest signs of the growing fissures within the diverse coalition, ahead of a crucial budget vote next month upon which the government’s survival hinges.
