Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich appealed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is considering releasing terrorists who crossed the yellow line in Rafah, and wrote on X: "This is absolute madness. Stop it." Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz also condemned it, saying: "The terrorists broke the ceasefire, and some of them participated in attacks against our soldiers. We must not allow them to leave the tunnels and regroup - especially when we still have bodies of hostages in Gaza. Otherwise we've returned to October 6."
