Live broadcast: Prime Minister speaks after the establishment of the committee of inquiry into the submarine affair and the reports of his meeting with the regent • Leader of the opposition: "Nothing will come out of this government" • Ganz: The submarines: "Cross a red line"
Stormy political day: The
leaders of the major parties, including Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ganz, are currently holding faction meetings and addressing tensions in the unity government.
Netanyahu will immediately speak at the beginning of the Likud faction meeting.
According to Ganz, "The State of Israel needs a functioning government backed by a budget. If we do not return immediately to a course of action for the benefit of the citizens, there will be no choice and we will go on a new campaign in the State of Israel's election field."

"After re-examining the issue of submarines and the courses of action available to me, I have decided to set up a government commission of inquiry into the purchase of protective ships and submarines and have updated the Prime Minister on this," he said later in a post yesterday.
"Apparently Netanyahu should have been more interested than any other person in this committee, headed by a retired judge, and members of the Navy Commander and the former Ministry of Defense procurement leader. If, as he and his men claim, I am happy for the opportunity to prove his righteousness to everyone. "
Minister Aryeh Deri attacked Ganz's decision at a meeting of the Shas faction: "The defense minister crossed a red line due to political considerations - calls on him to return to it." On the situation in the coalition, he said: "We have reached the hour of truth, the government's closing time.
We need to put everything aside and focus on the health and livelihood of the people of Israel. "
"Israeli citizens should be disturbed"
Ganz referred to the meeting between Regent Ben Salman and Netanyahu in Saudi Arabia yesterday: "The leak of the prime minister's secret flight is an irresponsible step.
This is not how I behave.
You can imagine how many secret things I did during my life, including on Netanyahu's mission - and I have never done so and I will never do so.
I think in this context the citizens of Israel should be disturbed. "
As for Corona, "we will continue to push for the promotion of the differential and responsible outline. We have enabled the street store outline, expanded it to open shopping centers and will continue to support and push the opening of malls slowly and carefully."
On the corona cabinet meeting tonight: "Hope and expect that we will not have another discussion without decisions."
Meanwhile, the chairman of the opposition and the head of Yesh Atid-TLM, MK Yair Lapid, noted at the beginning of the convening of his faction: "On December 2, a bill will be passed to dissolve the Knesset.
The law will go to a vote.
It's time for an election.
Nothing will come out of this government.
This is a collection of politicians who are only concerned with themselves.
In their jobs.
In their wretched quarrels.
They do not work for the citizens of Israel.
Just for themselves.
The chair first of all. "
