TL;DR

A group of mothers of combat soldiers launched a blistering attack on Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter on Monday evening, accusing him of losing perspective amid reports he plans to approve an increase in egg quotas for Gaza aid. "Our kids are eating battle rations in Gaza and the Gazans will eat omelets," the mothers said, questioning why Prime Minister Netanyahu is not intervening.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A group of mothers of combat soldiers publicly confronted Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter Monday evening, according to a statement circulated by the group. The confrontation came amid reports — published Sunday — that Dichter intends to approve an increase in egg quotas for Gaza to bolster humanitarian aid.

The mothers’ direct attack — "Our kids are eating battle rations in Gaza and the Gazans will eat omelets. You’ve lost it. Why isn’t the PM intervening?" — echoes sharp criticism from Likud sources over the weekend, as The Zioneer reported Sunday. In that earlier exchange, party insiders accused Dichter of being captive to the security establishment’s mindset. No response from the minister or the Prime Minister’s Office was available as of publication.
