Blue and White Chairman MK Benny Gantz referred to the rocket fire at Ashkelon during the Prime Minister's speech at the primaries conference.

"The situation in which Israeli citizens are at the mercy of terrorists and the Israeli prime minister cannot visit part of his country is a certificate of failing for the southern security policy and a loss of deterrence that no sovereign state can accept."

"We will replace the government, change the policy and return the deterrence and quiet to the residents of the south," said Gantz.
