Ben Gvir supports Smotrich and calls for fighting Hamas instead of negotiating the prisoners. Ben Gvir said in an interview with Israeli radio that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was wrong in sending the head of the Mossad to beg for the lives of Israelis.
This comes as the families of Israeli prisoners continue their movement, blocking the street opposite the Ministry of Defense headquarters for the fifth time. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said that there is no victory without the return of the prisoners, and described the Finance Minister's statements as a moral disgrace.
