Israel Hayom reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to take actions in the coming days to prevent the "undiplomatic outbursts" of government ministers, and to calm the political tensions that have arisen. A high-ranking political official harshly attacked Ministers Smotrich and Regev for statements they made against the Arab world, saying: "I don't understand how such things can be said. These are senseless statements that cannot be explained. They have lit fires that needed to be put out quickly."
