Yair Golan, chairman of Blue and White, responded at the opening of the faction meeting to the protocols published by the prime minister: "These are 55 pages of lies, whitewashing and rewriting of reality. October 7 was not a malfunction or an accident. It was a direct result of Netanyahu's policy that turned the state's security into his personal casino where he gambles with all our lives." Regarding the possibility that Channel 13 will be sold to businessman Patrick Drahi, Golan said that "the attempted takeover of Channel 13 is another true alarm for Israeli democracy. Netanyahu wants trumpets."
