Chairman of the National Unity party Benny Gantz responded to Prime Minister Netanyahu's accusation that his rhetoric was endangering the nation.
"Those who want to take politics out of the army - do not take them into the army. You're responsible for soldiers refusing to serve. You are the one who refuses to stop the coup d'état and start negotiations regarding the legal reform. You are refusing to hear the calls of Israeli patriots and dragging an entire country into chaos," he was quoted as saying.
