In light of the disagreements, members of the state camp headed by Ministers Gantz and Eisenkot will also be absent from the weekly cabinet meeting this morning, as they have chosen to do in recent weeks.
MK Dan Illouz (Likud) told Israel Hayom that "unfortunately there is a feeling that Gantz is looking for any reason to dismantle the emergency government while our soldiers, from all sectors and all opinions, are still at the front and fighting shoulder to shoulder."
"We must all exercise restraint and restraint for the greater goal of victory against Hamas and maintaining the spirit of unity, which is the key to our resilience and strengthens our soldiers," Illouz said. That's what we're doing, even in the face of difficult events like precedent-setting Supreme Court rulings in recent weeks. That's what Gantz is expected to do."
On the other hand, those close to Benny Gantz, chairman of the state camp, said of his absence from the weekly meeting: "There are no substantive issues for conducting the war, and therefore they will not come. When issues related to the war come up, they will come forward."
