Coalition chairman Ofir Katz criticized the Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir for his decision to boycott the votes in the Knesset and the absence at debates on the budget.
Katz said that "You can say that you are not overthrowing the right-wing government, but to be absent from a government meeting, from a meeting of coalition leaders, to boycott votes in the plenum and to cancel discussions on the budget, this is exactly the way to overthrow the right-wing government, and everyone knows who will be responsible for that. Right-wing policies are promoted through hard and joint work, not through strikes.''
