A storm erupted on Monday on X Network (formerly Twitter) following a photo showing Minister Benny Gantz and former Minister Ayelet Shaked attending a party held at the home of businessman Eyal Waldman, who lost his late daughter Daniel on October 7 at the Baraim Festival. The party was held to pay tribute to public relations expert Noa Tishbi, who fights from every stage to mobilize world public opinion on Israel's behalf.
Gantz on Netanyahu: "We are political rivals, but he has never been my enemy"
Channel 14 personality Yinon Magal posted footage of Gantz hugging Tishbi and wrote: "Cool in Eyal Waldman's penthouse ('The blood of those murdered on Netanyahu's hands') in Noa Tishbi's cocktail, with a glass of whiskey in his hand. Fun. Just remember that when Yariv Levin laughed in the Knesset, editions opened that it happens 'when soldiers are killed.'"
Political reporter Michael Hauser-Tov also did not spare criticism, writing on Twitter: "It is not clear (to put it mildly) what Benny Gantz, a member of the War Cabinet, is doing on such a cocktail night and whether he has nothing more important to do than lift to Noa Tishbi."

Right-wing activist Berle Crombie posted a photo showing Ayelet Shaked participating in the event alongside journalist Ben Caspit: "Which Ayelet?! Our Ayelet?! You won't believe who celebrated yesterday at a party of all the leaders of the 'protest' at Eyal Waldman's house," Crombie claimed.
Are you crazy?
A gratitude event, hosted by a bereaved father from the war, to our overseas explainer, becomes a cause for quarrel?
What motivates you?
Don't you understand that only together will we win?
Come with me to comfort mourners every day and you too will see the sadness, but also the strength and the hope.
Only together will we win! 🇮🇱 pic.twitter.com/zse3Ug0VkG

Former Minister Shaked responded to the detractors, and responded with a tweet: "Are you crazy? A gratitude event, hosted by a bereaved father from the war, to our overseas explainer, becomes a cause for quarrel? What motivates you?
