L-R Alternate PM and Foreign Minister Yair lapid, PM Naftali Bennett, Justice Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Transport Minister Merav Michaeli. Standing â Minister of Housing and Construction Ze'ev Elkin and Finance minister Avigdor Liberman. June 13, 2021.
Despite his attempt to show deference to his predecessor, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett took a swing at his former boss when he said that the ministers in the new government would be a better fit in carrying out the duties of their portfolios. It should have stung, because the past two years under former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were rife with internal wars within an impossibly split cabinet, and not so much about doing the job of governing.
