Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is under severe public criticism, both for his performance as minister and for his positions regarding the abductees issue. Yesterday (Tuesday) Smotrich left an interview at the Israel Today conference following boos from the audience, not for the first time since the outbreak of war. Now, the minister went up for an interview with Ben Caspit Vinon Magal on 103FM, but he too quickly deteriorated to the point of a collision.
As usual, in the interview, Smotrich canceled the criticism thrown at him directly from a resident of the Gaza Strip who was evacuated from her home, saying: "What has been happening lately, a small handful of thugs is trying to determine for all of us who and what can be discussed. So eight people come to a conference where there are hundreds of people who want Maybe tens of thousands of people hear it and decide to blow it up. Nobody wants to touch them, they are silenced, and they just blow it up again and again."
He added: "There is nothing and half nothing to this, no protest, no democracy, no arguments and no dialogue. It is possible that I would have entered this game by October 6th, but I made a decision on October 7th", at this point Caspith interrupted him and said "You demanded to expel people who did not They think like you from the synagogues." Smotrich denied and said "He was not and was not created, you are lying as usual". Caspit insisted: "You are a liar." After the exchange of accusations, the minister turned to Magel and said to him: "Yanon, forgive me. I will not conduct an interview with Ben Caspit, one of the people who got stuck on the 6th of October. He continues to incite, to spread the word. He plays into the hands of Sinwar and Nasrallah who want to see us fight, and the absolute majority of society wants To be together. "Knows how to argue, disagree, doesn't want violence, curses and insults, doesn't want what you're doing now. I will leave the interview, I will only be a participant in a respectful, proper, matter-of-fact discourse, even if it is sharp and touches on controversies."
