Bennett to meet with Bayit Yehudi MKs to discuss Defense Minister position
Education Minister Naftali Bennett called a meeting Wednesday with the Bayit Yehudi Knesset members following the dramatic resignation of Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
Apparently, party members believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should give the defense minister's job to Bennett. If Netanyahu fails to do so, members of the Bayit Yehudi will seek early elections.
At the same time, the premier began to consult with coalition leaders and senior Likud officials in an effort to stabilize the coalition.
