United Torah Judaism MK Moshe Gafni lashes out at war cabinet Minister Benny Gantz for issuing a statement on Shabbat, but makes no mention of the two statements that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office put out in the name of a “diplomatic official” during the Jewish Sabbath.

In his own statement, Gafni says Gantz should’ve waited to comment on the hostage negotiations until Shabbat ended, claiming that no lives are at stake while accusing him of “public irresponsibility.”
