Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz calls on Netanyahu to stop Betzalel Smotrich's appointment to the Cabinet. "This is abandoning security in exchange for legal immunity. The security situation in the region is undermined, and we are a short decision away from fighting that we have not seen in the Middle East since the Gulf War."
"And what is Netanyahu, Mr. Iran Above All, busy doing? He's putting Betzalel Smotrich into the security cabinet, the most sensitive room in the State of Israel.
"A man who encouraged civilians to block roads and confront security forces and called for 'diluting' Gaza's population will sit in a room opposite the Chief of Staff and Mossad head detailing the most sensitive and secretive security plans? And the discussion there will be conducted seriously and for the benefit of the State and its citizens? Bibi - Don't sell Israel's security for immunity, do not turn our security into a political and personal sale. Stop the appointment of Smotrich to the cabinet."
