Democratic Party chairman Yair Golan responded to the Prime Minister's Office confirmation that Israel is transferring weapons to Gazans to fight Hamas, saying "Instead of securing a deal, creating arrangements with the moderate Sunni axis and bringing back the hostages and security to Israeli citizens, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is creating a new time bomb in Gaza. This is not a mistake. This is a method." He added, "Netanyahu is selling Israel's security for another day in office. He must be immediately removed from decision-making."
