Member of Knesset Yehuda Glick, a representative of the Judea and Samaria (West Bank) region in the Likud, accepts with equanimity the cold shoulder he has received from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ever since he entered the Knesset in May 2016 to replace former Minister of Defense Moshe Ya'alon, who resigned. In an interview with Al-Monitor, Glick said that as of now all of his requests to meet with Netanyahu, even for a few minutes, have been automatically brushed off.
“Ever since I became a member of Knesset, Netanyahu refuses to meet with me, but I’m planted deep in the Likud. When I entered the Knesset, he didn’t want an association with me because ‘I ignite the Middle East,’ and now because I’m a leftist.”
