Member of Knesset, Elazar Stern, a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, referred to the leaks of a conversation in a Cabinet meeting between Education Minister Naftali Bennett and the IDF's Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot as "a serious violation of state security."
"I call on the prime minister to investigate the leaks from the cabinet as soon as possible," Stern said. "We have reached a situation in which time and again government ministers turn the heads of security bodies into a political instrument in their possession."
The conversation was reportedly a disagreement over the IDF's response or lack thereof to ongoing attacks from the Gaza Strip on the communities in Israel's Gaza Belt region.
