Additional transcripts of discussions of the cabinet before and during 2014's Protective Edge counter-terrror operation, published Thursday morning in the Yediot Ahronot newspaper, reveale more details about the decision-making of the military and political leadership regarding terror tunnels originating in Gaza.
A transcript of the cabinet meeting held on July 1, a week before the operation, shows that then Economy Minister Naftali Bennett already demanded a clear plan of action regarding tunnels. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded, "The problem of the tunnels is new and we do not have a response."
