Zionist Union head Avi Gabbay responded to prime minister Netanyahu's statement on the Gaza situation, stating that "you promised to crush Hamas in Gaza but you are keeping it alive.
"You promised not to release terrorists . You released them and one of those released terrorists ins Yahya Sinwar, Hamas leader in Gaza. You appointed a defense minister who a moment before you said was not worthy of being a military commentator. Hamas is shooting at the South for more than a month and you are silent. We lost the deterrence in Gaza and you are responsible for this."
