Ganz: Does not rule out the possibility that we will postpone the school year for a month
The defense minister objected to a locksmith in a special interview at Walla !, but clarified that it could be implemented.
Ganz rejected criticism of the lack of response against Hamas: "He does not work for him, he says jump and I say how high," referring to Netanyahu: "Days will tell if he returns to be prime minister." The sour face? "Your legend."

Defense Minister Bnei Gantz today (Wednesday) called for considering postponing the start of the school year for the month in light of the spread of the corona and the rise in morbidity.
In an interview with Walla!
He referred extensively to the current government's response to the fourth wave of the Corona, and expressed hope that a decision on the matter would be made in the coming days.
"We are in a dilemma: in September we are talking about 6-7 school days. On the one hand we want the year to start as a series, this is also what the Minister of Education leads, and on the other hand we do the calculations until the last minute. "During the year - to get a little away from this wave," Ganz said.
"Both options are good, I do not rule out the possibility that we will postpone the school year for a month. The Minister of Education and the Minister of Health should state their position and the Cabinet should sit down to decide and I hope we will do so in the coming days."
The government you are a member of has decided to live alongside the corona and evade as many locksmiths as possible - a completely opposite strategy to that of the previous government you were a member of.
Do you agree with the approach?
"I hope it succeeds. In the end, the struggle in Corona is always a combined struggle, health first and foremost, but both economically and socially. "Let the public remember that this is an option that is on the table. Israel is running vaccines, a lot of tests, it can be dealt with."

Have you done enough?
With restrictions that have come into effect only now.
"No, you can always be precise, you can always catch us for two days here and there for two days in extreme cases."
Along with the growing morbidity curve, perhaps the strategy is really like Ayelet Shaked said, that the public should contain the dead?
"I do not agree with the statement, the dead is something that is hard to contain. The Delta variant is more contagious, running fast, not for nothing we came together and set the limits, we did not just run with the third vaccine before the FDA approved it and we were the first in the world. We took the right steps." .
He rejected the claim that there was a feeling that the government was not taking the crisis seriously enough.
"The government is taking things seriously," he stressed. "The next few days are decision days. I do not get into the matter that Lieberman and Lapid do not come to the cabinet meetings. You can invite Lapid and Lieberman to come and explain what they do when they do not come to the hearing.

"The sour face is a legend"
In an interview, Gantz referred to working with Prime Ministers Naftali Bennett and Benjamin Netanyahu, and his feelings in the current government.
He insisted that his sour face, which had become his trademark, "is your legend."
How do you think Bennett functions as prime minister?
The defense minister works closely and is very close to the prime minister.
How does working with him compare with Netanyahu?
Do you miss something in the previous government?
"[I] think he follows this closely in person and consults with intermediaries. Working with Bennett is fine, working with Netanyahu was also fine. We knew how to manage the arguments, even when we fought very hard. I am not dictated by who I work with, but What I work for. I work for the good of the State of Israel, I will do everything for the state. I do not miss anyone who puts his personal considerations before national considerations, I always put the considerations of the state. My motto - 'Israel before everything' - is a way of life "Statehood is a way of life."

Do you believe in the proposals you receive from the Likud?
If you can become prime minister - then why not do it?
Why wave at it all the time, and not just take it off the episode?
"This thing is known, I could be prime minister and I think I can be prime minister at any political point in time. I worked for this government to be formed, to work for this government to exist and so I will continue to do so. I will continue to look at my political intentions. "We are talking about it because you asked, you asked - you received an answer, it comes from you. The change in Israel was an important thing, I supported it and I will continue to support it."
"I think I can be prime minister at any political point in time."

When was the last time you spoke with opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu?
"We do not have an ongoing or active relationship, respect him for what he has done and understand his oppositional personality that naturally happens. It is part of the political game," Ganz said.
In response to the Likud's reference to Netanyahu still as "prime minister", and to the fact that he flew abroad contrary to the instructions, he added that the Likud chairman "flew to a place where you can fly. There is a prime minister in Israel and there is an opposition leader in Israel and I can understand that."
You saw his picture from the airport.
what were you thinking?
"I saw, I did not like, but that's what it is. Looks like an unflattering picture, too bad. The man travels a long way. A picture taken in San Francisco, do not know if it was taken on purpose or not. I have no idea who took it, I deal with more important issues of state security. "Israel. Days will tell if he will return as prime minister."
"I do not work for Hamas"

In an interview, the minister also responded to security developments in the area. He claimed that the corona "affects our lives a lot", but "does not affect the existence of challenges in the other arenas. Overall quiet but very sensitive, and very explosive in each of the sectors."
Why did we not respond to a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip on Monday?
"What we said is that what was is not what will be. I do not work for Hamas. He says jump and I say how high. Shot, we intercepted, we recorded we will return."
And in the northern arena do not react?
"We acted in a chain of events following the firing of Hamas elements from Lebanon. We attacked both Lebanese infrastructure and territories in the launch area itself, we responded with dozens of shells to rockets fired in the eastern sector. "I offer to say goodbye to the pabulum reaction that there is an event and there is a reaction here and now. There is a reaction. There is a violation of power. There is an accumulation of military achievements in each of the sectors.
Do you feel you are getting full political backing? Even with RAAM and Meretz?
”There are a lot of voices and a lot of noises and a lot of political speculations that say what happens, if and when the situation arises. RAAM joined [the coalition] not because of its security agenda but because of the civilian agenda. The basic demands of Arab society are a very important thing. Preserving stability in the Middle East is in Israel's strategy.We will not run away from any of the sectors. "

The IDF spokesman said Hezbollah is deterred and therefore he fires missiles. Do you agree with this statement?
"I relate this statement, this needs to be the subject matter and relate to the overall picture. Hezbollah responded to our attack on planes. There have been messages on such and other channels that no one wants to hit the decree. I think the deterrent formula is valid. We rely not only on deterrence but also on our ability to act. I know what will happen in Lebanon and I advise them not to do it. "The
enemies know that the government is shaky and that there is a conflict of political interests within it.
" The Israeli government knows how to use its security force, they are strategic, security, political, not political. I will not allow political considerations to influence strategic security considerations. "
There is rapid development in the field of precision missiles in Lebanon, until when will you hold back?
"I'd rather the act lead the story. When that happens, I guess we can talk. We'll use our power as important as it needs to be."
Are you worried when you see the frightened withdrawal of the Americans from Afghanistan?
"Israel should mainly learn from this. The impact is small, but large in the perception of terrorist organizations. Something that should be noted that it exists. We are here as the only democracy in the Middle East and our right to exist in our own eyes is that we become a Jewish and democratic state, but we can protect interests. "At any point in time. Stability is very important, we believe in cooperating with the countries around us."
