Minister of Education Naftali Bennett, a member of the Political Security Cabinet, responded to Maj. Gen. Yair Golan's statement that "Bennett is weakening the army and the State of Israel ... It's a pity he expressed himself as he did, maybe it's good for his electoral ... It's very sad."
Bennett said, "The only thing that should interest us all is that Israel returns to winning. That our enemies will once again be afraid to send 530 rockets against Israeli citizens. "
