Benny Gantz said "Netanyahu proved again this morning that for him, political pressure outweighs the good of the state and its security."

Lapid said the "violent and extortionate bill" would be repealed in the first week of next Knesset.

"Bar must think the public is stupid," Ben-Gvir wrote, adding, "the Shin Bet itself was the one that blocked the worsening of conditions for terrorists in prison."
"I believe that an organization or a person who cannot stand up and face failure will find it very difficult to improve," he said.
Zamir came a close second to Halevi in the race for IDF chief in January 2023, but that pick was made by then-defense minister Benny Gantz.
