In a post on Twitter, MK Gilad Erdan (Likud) attacked the Left- Wing "Commanders for Israeli Security" organization which claimed that annexing Judea and Samaria poses a security threat, writing:
"Again, as always, "former officials" in the defense establishment (media code for leftists), are determined to decide for us what to do and to frighten us, that if we take the moral and obvious step and finally put Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, there will be a great disaster, etc."
"I am tired of former senior officers using the ranks on their shoulders to advance political agendas, tell the public the truth you are leftists, who are against our living in Judea and Samaria. Don't hide behind all sorts of prophecies of an apocalyptic security situation. You need to learn from past mistakes from the Oslo process, the bringing back of Arafat to the land, from the disengagement, and from your support of evacuating the Golan and signing a peace treaty with Assad. We have been elected to do what is right for the people of Israel."
