MK Oded Forrer (Yisrael Beiteinu) wrote to the Prime Minister and members of the security cabinet demanding that they intensify their responses to Hamas.

"In recent months, we have been witness to the constant the demands of Hamas and the Israeli government's submission to these unprecedented demands, which are part of a mechanism of blackmailing, in the wake of which the State of Israel even pays protection to a terrorist organization," Furer wrote.
