National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir responded to Benny Gantz's proposal for opposition members to join the government for the return of hostages, writing on X that "We saw the difference between a cabinet with Gantz and a cabinet without him in Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Rafah. Right-wing voters chose right-wing policy - not Gantz's policy, not a centrist government, not surrender deals with Hamas, but complete victory."
