Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told journalist Oded Harosh on Channel 14 Saturday night that he considered resigning after the October 7 massacre and that he would 'take this to my last day.' The statement was made during a personal interview in which Smotrich reflected on his emotional response to the Hamas-led attack. No prior reporting by The Zioneer covered Smotrich specifically on this topic; a similar interview format with a different figure — Professor Yuval Elbashan — was noted earlier this month.
