The chairman of the National Unity party, Benny Gantz commented on the release of the director of Shifa Hospital and said that "a government that releases those who sponsored the killers of October 7 and helped hide our hostages made an operational, moral and ethical error. Therefore it is unfit to conduct our war of existence and quit. Whoever made the decision lacked judgment and should be fired today." He said, "Prime minister, if you close some government offices, I am sure there would be room and budgets for prisons. You can't continue waging war this way, it's time to set an agreed election date." (Ynet)
