Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz addressed the Knesset plenum during a '40 signatures' discussion in the presence of the Prime Minister, on the topic of "The government's ongoing failure to eradicate violence and crime." Gantz spoke directly to Netanyahu and criticized National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's performance. "Every minute Ben-Gvir remains in office, Israel's security is at risk," he said. According to Gantz, "Only a broad and stable government can address the challenges of Arab society. This isn't racism - it's reality."
