MK Yuli Edelstein, head of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, has criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not designating a single body to oversee the home front amid the ongoing war in Gaza.

Noting that he’d asked last week that Netanyahu name the National Security Council as the body to oversee the home front’s “security, finance, education, welfare, etcetera,” Edelstein said earlier that no progress had been made on the matter.

“Given this situation, I find it difficult to see how I can continue to approve the ‘special situation’ in the home front without receiving clear answers, and without understanding who is responsible for managing the entire economic-civil aspect of the war.”
