MK Avi Dichter (Likud) attacked MK's Gantz and Lapid (Blue & White) for saying Netanyahu shouldn't have left the stage during a rocket attack on the south, writing:
"The statements of Lapid & Gantz that they would have remained on stage under fire is just dumb. I was at an event in Ashdod. Prime Minister Netanyahu acted in a leader like manner, Lapid and Gantz were just talking nonsense. They are not leaders."
