Finance Minister and Religious Zionism party chairman Bezalel Smotrich said that 'What we've been seeing since yesterday is systemic madness and complete irresponsibility. Let's start with the simplest thing - no aid is entering to Hamas. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. I led the demand to stop this foolishness. I'm the one who practically led the solution regarding civilian companies, and I'm telling you that what was will not be.' According to him, 'None of the food and medicine that will be transferred will reach Hamas. The operational method is different from before. We are conquering and clearing until Hamas is destroyed.'
