National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir wrote on Facebook that 'the bitter left desperately wants to attribute failure to the government and me regarding the fire - instead of acknowledging the great achievement, just as the left wants us to stop the war in Gaza and not defeat Hamas. For them, their obsessive hatred of the right is more important than the state.' He added 'several facts,' writing among other things that 'on Memorial Day there are no hikers or barbecues in the forests. It's clear to any rational person that the extensive fire, in different and distant locations, is not the result of hiker negligence. An arsonist was arrested, and many inciters to arson were identified. But in the left's eyes, Bibi and Ben Gvir started the fire, and the terrorist arsonists are the ones who extinguished it. It won't help the left, we will win in Gaza too, the war won't stop until we defeat Hamas.'
