National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir accuses war cabinet Minister Benny Gantz of causing harm to the State of Israel after Gantz told reporters that “ministers who harm the security of the state should not sit in the cabinet,” in an apparent dig at his fellow lawmakers.
“The person who harmed the security of the State of Israel, who drove the concept of containment and surrender to Hamas, endangered Golani’s soldiers, brought in workers from Gaza, opened the checkpoints in the West Bank, shut down the emergency response teams, and hosted [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas] in his home, is Gantz,” Ben Gvir says, referencing Gantz’s time as defense minister between 2020-2022.
“In my opinion, someone like him should not sit in the cabinet,” the ultranationalist minister adds.
