MK Erel Margalit (Zionist Union) has responded to a draft report on Operation Protective Edge, which strongly criticizes the Prime Minister, Defense Minister and then-IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz.
"On the eve of Memorial Day, Netanyahu is spitting in the faces of the bereaved families. What a shame. Operation Protective Edge took almost three times as long as the Yom Kippur War. Seventy-two people were killed and 2,457 wounded," said MK Margalit.
"The state comptroller reached conclusions that should shake the country: A lack of connection to the fighting ground. Deficiencies in handling the tunnels and a lack of discussion on the issue. Continuing the operation far beyond the proper time. Failure to update the Cabinet about the Shin Bet's warnings regarding a military confrontation with Hamas. And this is just the promo. But Netanyahu is busy with his personal survival and doesn't care about our security."
