On video: Ministers Ben Gabir, Vassaralof and Krei dance with the crowd at the settlement conference in Gaza tonight 01.28.24/without
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir was interviewed by the American newspaper 'Wall Street Journal' at the weekend and criticized US President Joe Biden when he claimed that "if Trump was in power, the behavior of the US would be completely different".
Anat Davidov and Udi Segal discussed this on 103fm with Knesset member Moshe Saada (Likud), who commented on the things that caused an uproar.
"I don't give grades to Knesset members and ministers, that's not my job," he said, adding: "We have a lot of appreciation and respect for the US, and the way to express it is to say thank you, not to criticize.
If there is criticism, and it is legitimate, the way to say it is in closed rooms, not on networks and in the media.
This is the right way, that's how we behave.
Do you have a dispute?
There is a place to say it, not in the media."

He also emphasized that "there is also a need for gratitude for what they have done for the people of Israel and are doing now. If there is criticism, and there is criticism and it is legitimate, there is a way to have a dialogue. This is not the way, this is not how we conduct ourselves, this is true for everyone. The US too , criticism should be said in the rooms.
This is how you manage a relationship between partners, this is how it should be." "
Also regarding the essence, right now we need a lot of thanks and recognition for what the US is doing for us. There is disagreement, there is criticism, it is legitimate between partners, it should be said in closed rooms," he clarified , "Right now we are all carrying a difficult and heavy stretcher, what is happening in the north, in the south. The State of Israel is at war, and under this stretcher all the Zionist parties should come. There is time for politics the day after, when we return everyone home, the abductees, the residents of Sderot, Kiryat Shmona. Right now, All the cynical parties that put the people of Israel before them should go under this stretcher."
