Opposition leader Yair Lapid called on Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Orit Strock to identify the cabinet member who they claim provided false information about the renewed deployment in Gaza. Lapid said the ministers cannot level such a serious accusation without naming the person.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid on Monday publicly challenged Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Orit Strock to name the cabinet member who they claim provided false information about the renewed Israeli deployment in Gaza. The ministers had written in a letter that the cabinet was misled on the matter. Lapid responded by demanding they specify who gave the allegedly false information, stating that 'cabinet ministers cannot level such a serious accusation without saying who it is.' The exchange underscores ongoing political friction within the security cabinet over the management of the Gaza campaign, as The Zioneer has reported in previous clashes between ministers and the prime minister on operational decisions.
