Chairman of Religious Zionist party, Bezalel Smotrich, responded on his Twitter account to reports that he would resign as to not be part of a government that relies on the Arab Ra'am party.
"I have no intention of resigning,' wrote Smotrich. "My finger will remain stuck in the dam as to prevent the collapse of Zionism, which will come in the form of a government that relies on those who support terrorism and who deny our existence as a Jewish state."
