Fired Defense Minister Yoav Galant said today (Monday) that he could not wait for the return of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to warn of the consequences of the legal revolution on the country's security.

In a closed hearing in the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee in the Knesset, which was called by committee chairman Yuli Edelstein, Gallant said that "the threats to the State of Israel are real, and oblige us to act today." Before Gallant's statement on Saturday evening, he tried to convince Netanyahu to stop the legislation

in light of the protest growing in the ranks of the army. Netanyahu claimed in a brief statement about Gallant's dismissal that it was because he did not act firmly against the refusals. However, a senior security official said yesterday that the Chief of Staff, the head of the Shin Bet and the head of the Mossad hold a similar assessment regarding the consequences of the legislation on Israel's security preparedness .
