Chairman Moshe Yaalon of the Telem Party has responded to Minister Yoav Gallant's criticism by saying, "I would return to the Likud of 2009. In the Likud of 2015, the way that Netanyahu led it, he left us all," according to the Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation.

The former defense minister continued, "Look at Gallant's political conduct. This is opportunism and not navigation according to a compass."
