Minister Yoav Galant, who has spoken several times in recent days against MK Bennett's appointment as Defense Minister, voted against the appointment at the cabinet meeting.
"Israel is in a complex and sensitive period of security. This appointment does not serve the security of the State and therefore I will vote against it," Galant explained his decision.
"I will continue to do my best to help the Prime Minister and the security system to keep Israel safe," Minister Galant added.
