Former Defense Minister and right-wing chairman, MK Naftali Bennett, today (Thursday) criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi should have been backed, who expressed opposition to the return to the nuclear agreement with Iran. "Kochavi is right.

There are things you see on the 14th floor campus and see in Washington, "he said." We are not terms with it, and as far as I'm concerned we do not complete a route must be Iranian bomb, which is actually exactly what the agreement does. "

Conference of the Institute for National Security Studies at the University of Tel Aviv (INSS), which was moderated by Walla! NEWS political correspondent Tal Shalev, added that "this agreement is really bad.

I would have expected the first to back up my star to be the prime minister - I did not understand why he did not.

So here I say clearly - I strengthen Kochavi's position, it expresses the Israeli national consensus.

And there is something refreshing about the fact that the political and military echelons are speaking outwardly in one voice. "

"Public statements that upset a new administration are not the way to get to the table."

On the other hand, the chairman of Yesh Atid, MK Yair Lapid, said during the conference that it would be better for discussions on sensitive issues not to be held in public.

"I think in the first week of a new administration, this kind of discussions should not be conducted in front of the cameras, but it should be conducted," he said.

"Public statements that irritate a new administration are not the way to get to the table. One of the problems we had was that after Netanyahu's speech in Congress in 2015 Israel was removed from the table and we saw the result - the agreement was bad, partly because Israel's security concept was not at the table." .

Lapid added that the best option for Israel is a good nuclear agreement with Iran.

"I would like to mention that there are three options - the first and best option is a good agreement, an agreement that includes the ballistic missiles, the treatment of Iran's terrorism, a reduction in uranium enrichment. The second option is what there is now, when there is no agreement "Most of it is a bad agreement, and in order for the agreement not to be bad, we have to be part of the process."

Said enforcement of corona regulations should be equitable in all sectors.

A new Tikva chairman, Gideon Saar, addressed the issue of enforcing corona regulations and said it should be equal in all sectors. “It does not matter if it is a school that should not be open in the ultra-Orthodox sector or a wedding in the Arab sector.

A reformed state is based on the principle of equality before the law. "He said." I will not compromise on this principle.

When I was Minister of Education in 2010, I saw in the supervision reports that the core duties in some schools did not exist, and I cut the budgets even though the ultra-Orthodox parties were in the coalition, even though I was attacked for it. "

Saar added that there are principles that are above political preparation.

The significant difference is that I respect everyone but I do not depend on the ultra-Orthodox parties.

"Netanyahu depends on them because this is the only option he has to form a coalition, he has no other option and that is how it looks."

To the full article

Defense Minister Bnei Gantz last night criticized Kochavi's speech, saying that "nuclear Iran is a regional global danger and is a challenge to Israel's security. The region must not ignore this challenge and certainly Israel must be prepared to defend itself. These things are done inside the rooms. Red lines surely. That are painted inside the rooms. "

In a statement to the Kirya in Tel Aviv, Ganz said that "we are opening a new government in the United States. This is an important government. Friend of Israel. We will have the right strategic discourse with him. We will do so in the near future - the defense system is subject to all parts of Israel." "For the policy of the Israeli government, they will continue to do everything in their power to prevent Iran from becoming a military nucleus. To that end, we will use all our tools. Political, economic, intelligence and security."
