National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir attacked the decision to hold a daily "tactical-humanitarian" pause in the Rafah area, saying that "whoever decided on a 'tactical pause' for the purpose of a humanitarian operation, especially at a time when the best of our soldiers are falling In battle, is evil and a fool who should not continue to be in his position." Ben-Gvir added: "Unfortunately, this move was not brought before the cabinet and it is contrary to its decisions. It's time to stop the crazy and delusional approach that only brings us more dead and fallen."
