Yoaz Hendel, head of the Zionist Home-Reservists Party, criticized the government's handling of riots in Jerusalem on Tuesday evening, according to N12. 'Where is the Minister of National Security? Where is the Prime Minister? Where is Smotrich, who is afraid of the Haredi dealmakers? Silence is filth,' Hendel said.
Yoaz Hendel, head of the Zionist Home-Reservists Party, criticized the government's response to the ongoing riots in Jerusalem in a statement Tuesday evening, as reported by N12. Hendel directly questioned the absence of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, accusing Smotrich of being 'afraid of the Haredi dealmakers.' He concluded by stating that 'silence is filth.'
Hendel, who co-leads the recently formed Zionist Home-Reservists Party alongside former minister Hili Tropper (as The Zioneer reported last month), has positioned himself as a centrist-right voice focused on the interests of IDF reservists and national service members. The party seeks to present an alternative to the current coalition, particularly on matters of security and civic responsibility.
