MK Haim Yellin (Yesh Atid), a resident of the Gaza envelope, responded to the latest escalation in Gaza.

"The prime minister had three and a half years of calm, in which we should have reached an arrangement from a position of power, not now when Hamas decides on the situation. You do not reach an agreement with a terrorist organization that has not disarmed. The Israeli government deteriorated the situation vis-à-vis Hamas," said Yellin, according to Kan News.
