On video: Gallant: "Hamas is looking for a replacement for Sinwar"/ Defense Minister Communications
Defense Minister Yoav Galant participated today (Tuesday) in a special situation assessment for the month of Ramadan at the Central Command, and addressed the threats in the region: "We recognize the growing preoccupation of Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas to turn Ramadan into the second phase of October 7 and set fire to the area," he said.
The minister also attacked the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, when he said: "People who are supposed to be responsible - are not responsible. The statements can lead to drift."
"The main goal of Hamas is to take Ramadan, with an emphasis on the Temple Mount and Jerusalem, and turn it into the second phase of their plan that began on October 7 - this is the main goal of Hamas, it is pumped up by Iran and Hezbollah," the defense minister stressed.
"We must not give them this thing, and the meaning is to calm the area in every way possible, and in this aspect - the operation should be divided into two simple parts, you know them well and they create the differentiation, whoever is a terrorist or a suspect, or 'on the way to L', should To come into contact with him and stop him or eliminate him, there is no wisdom here. The second thing - where you can give and let go, why? Because we don't want this pressure to turn from single incidents, as dangerous as they are - into another incident."
