The Minister of Finance Bitsalel Smoitsch published a video in which he said: “Unfortunately, at the last meeting of the office, I lost the belief that the Prime Minister may want to lead the IDF to a decisive victory.” According to him, “Netanyahu and the cabinet succumbed to weaknesses, allowed emotions to defeat the mind and decided to do the same again. They don’t achieve a decisive fracture, they don’t return the hostages, they don’t win in the war. For the first time since the start of the war, I feel that I simply cannot support this decision and approve it. My conscience does not allow this.”
