Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz spoke at the beginning of the faction meeting about the return of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, who was brought back after 11 years - when Gantz served as IDF Chief of Staff. Gantz said: "Hadar's fall was one of the most difficult moments for me during Operation Protective Edge. It took 11 years to bring him home, I think this brings closure, and from my perspective, in light of this, we can finally say that Operation Protective Edge is over."
