Transportation Minister Bezalel Smotrich responded, Thursday afternoon, to criticism by Blue and White Member of Knesset Ofer Shelah of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for not having a policy in Gaza.
Writing on Twitter, Smotrich said, "You are right that Netanyahu has no policy in Gaza. But the policy you propose is a thousand times more dangerous than his 'no policy'. You want to crush Hamas to bring [Palestinian Authority Chairman] Abu Mazen back there and then give him a state in Judea and Samaria and make this whole area (twenty times the size of Gaza and with topographical control over the entire center of the country) one big Gaza."
