National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir responded to Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz's call yesterday to establish a "hostage redemption government," stating that "I expect all coalition faction leaders to make it unequivocally clear - Gantz will not enter the government. We achieved successes without him in Iran, Hezbollah and various other fronts. If we want to achieve success in Gaza - Benny Gantz must not join the government." Yesterday, Ben Gvir said on the matter that "right-wing voters did not vote for Gantz's policies or surrender deals with Hamas."
