UTJ's warning to Netanyahu: We're our own bloc...

MK Uri Maklev of United Torah Judaism warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against straying from the right-wing bloc. Maklev stated that UTJ considers itself an independent bloc and questioned Netanyahu's commitment to current partners.

Maklev predicted Netanyahu could seek a coalition that includes former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot. The comments reflect ongoing coalition tensions within Israel's governing parties.
