Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich addressed the Shaalim network's Seeds Conference in Jerusalem, referring to the ultra-Orthodox parties' withdrawal from the coalition: "History will not forgive those who bring down the government and take us to elections," he said. He added that his words are directed "to everyone, to the ultra-Orthodox on one hand and to Edelstein on the other - woe to anyone who breaks up the national camp and brings us to surrender to Gaza."
