During the interview, Minister Gamliel said that "the pollution disaster we encountered is of a type that has not been seen for years", "At this stage, the ecological damage caused as a result cannot be assessed. I hope this case will at least be a documentary burn to the public, and we will understand "We worked hard and together we managed to take over the event. I thank all the amazing volunteers who took part in cleaning the beaches."
Commenting on the outgoing Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab, who blamed Israel for the pollution, she said: "The ships in question are not Israeli at all. The responsibility is not on Israel, and these are empty slogans. Despite his baseless accusations, I offer him help. "We are in favor of economic, social and environmental peace - and we will be happy to help Lebanon with coastal pollution."
Regarding the bathing season, she said: "We will do everything to ensure that the bathing season opens on time and as a series. Thanks to the Prime Minister and his work, we are back to normal, and the beach is definitely one of the places the public wants to return to in large numbers.
In the midst of all this, it is impossible to forget that in exactly one month, the citizens of Israel will go to the polls.
In response to the officers' petition calling on the defense minister to retire from the race, Minister Gamliel said that "it is time for Gantz to understand that no one will shoot him in the back."
"They just put a mirror in front of his face and tell him he's failed. Generals who did a good job in the military can't necessarily succeed in politics," she said.
Asked if she thought the defense minister should leave politics, she said: "I do not call on him to resign, but he is irrelevant and has no significant contribution. The public gave him the experience and he failed. Because of him we are dragged into another election. People come to him out of compassion and offer him Retire so he can stop being humiliated. "
"Torch Like Where's Effie"
Israel Today's party correspondent, Daniel Roth-Avnery, was also interviewed in the morning strip.
Roth-Avnery referred to campaigns run by opposition leader Yair Lapid and former minister Gideon Saar. "Lapid is like where Effie is, working hard and getting off the radar.
He learned that in the past he had a strong opening and then weakened.
His goal is to be prime minister, and at all costs.
Like many politicians Lapid is willing to sell his values in a meeting with the common.
He also disappeared to make mistakes, "she said.
As for Gideon Saar, Roth-Avnery added that his party is the "only not Bibi" of the right.
"Lapid and Gideon Saar do not attack each other. There is probably a quiet agreement, there may be a full partnership between them. They dream of forming a government together."
She also noted that Channel 12 is interested in Saar's success according to his interviews.
