Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz responds to right-wing criticism over his meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas last week.

“I will continue to meet with Abu Mazen,” he says during a faction meeting.

“I was disappointed with the ministers who spoke out in a way that serves their political interest and not the national security interest.”
