Ben Gabir threatens to destabilize the coalition, Smotrich adds: "The only way to ensure our control in Gaza is through the establishment of a military government" Israel today. Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gabir, today (Monday) sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following last night's announcement that the IDF had decided to change the opening fire instructions.

As part of the change, it was prohibited IDF soldiers must shoot at Gazans approaching a short distance from the fence with Israel, including those suspected of being terrorists.
