After the interview with the "Wall Street Journal" published today (Sunday), in which the Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir attacked the US President against the backdrop of the demand for the cessation of hostilities and the establishment of a Palestinian state, Knesset members and government ministers are not sparing criticism.
"It is permissible to have disputes, even with our largest and most important ally, but they must be conducted in the relevant forums and not in irresponsible statements in the media," Gantz said.
"The prime minister should call the minister for internal security, who is causing tremendous damage to Israel's foreign relations, to order."

"The interview that Ben Gabir gave to the Wall Street Journal is a direct harm to Israel's international standing, a direct harm to the war effort, harmful to Israel's security and above all proves that he understands nothing about foreign policy," said former Prime Minister and opposition leader Yair Lapid.
"I would call on the prime minister to restrain him, but Netanyahu has no control over the extremists in his government."

The chairman of the Labor Party responded to the publication and said: "What Netanyahu did against Obama and against Biden under the guise of leadership, Ben Gabir is doing under the guise of a brat."
In both cases, this is another part of the destruction that Netanyahu has brought and is bringing to Israel since he and Ben Gvir incited against Rabin and until today, they are inciting against Biden."
MK Gilad Karib responded to the words and wrote on the X network: "Itamar Ben Gabir harms the security of the State of Israel and endangers our ability to deal with the Iranian axis that has risen upon us to destroy us.
A dangerous and limitless man."
