In response to Gantz's attack on Netanyahu in regards to his military service, Netanyahu responded saying:
"As a soldier and as an officer in the Sayeret Matkal commando unit, I risked my life time after time for the sake of the state," Netanyahu wrote in a post on Facebook.
"I was wounded in a battle with terrorists," Netanyahu said. "I almost lost my life in a fire in the Suez Canal for the security of the country that you want to risk with unilateral withdrawals and support for the dangerous nuclear agreement with Iran, the citizens of Israel will choose between a strong right-wing government headed by me and a weak left government headed by you."
