Shas' leader attacked Benny Gantz's speech at the Munich conference: "Mr. Gantz, when you face the whole world, at least tell the truth.

"What kind of honor and respect for the Jewish religion are you talking about? You began your election speech defiantly against the Jewish character. Even this speech you gave on Shabbat with a lack of respect for tradition. Is this your message to the people of Israel? This is how you'll beat the Iranians?" said the party's announcement.
