Aliyah and Integration Minister and Cabinet member Yoav Galant (Likud) on Friday criticized Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, citing his failure to properly deal with the continued rocket and incendiary balloon fire from Gaza towards southern Israel.

"Over the past two weeks, Hamas has been launching dozens of explosive devices using balloons at Israel - this is a terrorist act and a dangerous escalation," Galant wrote in his Twitter account.

"It turns out that he who disseminated arrogant and worthless remarks in the past based on lack of understanding and inexperience, suffers from difficulties in understanding the situation and providing an appropriate response. The Cabinet allows the Defense Minister to act differently, the situation can and should be changed, I know that,” he added.
