Defense Minister Galant and Chief of Staff Lt. Col. Hertzi Halevi are supposed to decide on this issue, separate from Smotrich's opinion.

According to Smotrich's people, in the last two weeks the minister tried to promote talks on the issue with the involvement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in order to pass the the powers, but Gallant opposed a tripartite meeting and thus postponed the transfer of powers to an unknown date, in complete violation of the coalition agreement. Smotrich's people also claimed that, contrary to the claims of officials in the Ministry of Defense, Smotrich instructed not to evacuate the vineyard in Binyamin, but the directive was not respected and the evacuation was carried out against his will.
