Transportation Minister Miri Regev was asked at the ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth State Women's Conference whether she supports arming militias in Gaza as part of efforts to defeat Hamas. She responded that it was "fake," and after being informed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself had confirmed this, she said: "I'm not familiar with it and cannot support a move I'm not familiar with. I will ask if it's true and check with the cabinet whether this publication is correct or not, hear explanations."
