The Brothers in Arms movement reacted strongly Sunday evening to statements attributed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to which he said to examine the connection between refusal and Yahya Sinwar's motivation.

"Netanyahu is once again sticking a knife in the back of the fighters during wartime. The entire nation is an army (except for your sons), and only you continue to tear the people apart. You will not succeed," the organization said.
The Prime Minister's Office responded: "Contrary to reports, the prime minister did not say in any way that it was the refusal that led Hamas to attack Israel. The prime minister said before the war that he asked about our enemies to mistake us, and that in real time everyone showed up, as indeed happened."
Over 100% reporting for reserve duty and the extraordinary mobilization of the entire Israeli society - they are the overwhelming answer to all our enemies. Evading responsibility and throwing slime in time of war is a blow to the state. The prime minister must retract his words clearly and clearly. I would like to strengthen all those who serve again - from anywhere. Thanks to you, we will win.
