There is a high likelihood that the Otzma Yehudit party will return to the government, Itamar Ben-Gvir told the Galey Israel radio station on Wednesday.
"I haven't tailored a minister's suit again yet, but there's no doubt that the chances of Otzma Yehudit returning to the government have increased," he said following US President Donald Trump's comments on Tuesday regarding the transfer of Palestinians from Gaza.
"The ball is now in the prime minister's hands—if he moves forward with it, I'm fully by his side. Once things start and there's an intention to implement—I’m coming back. I don’t want to elaborate, but there are already plans," he added.
Otzma Yehudit left government because of ceasefire deal
Otzma Yehudit resigned from the government in mid-January after the government approved the ceasefire deal.
Their departure came after Ben-Gvir threatened to leave the government if the deal was approved.
"The deal that is taking shape is a reckless deal," Ben-Gvir said in a televised statement in early January. He said the deal would "erase the achievements of the war" by releasing hundreds of Palestinian terrorists and withdrawing from strategic areas in Gaza, leaving Hamas undefeated.
