Poll: Netanyahu bloc closing in on Gantz bloc

The Prime Minister attacked Gantz for his ultimatum: "Whitewashed words whose meaning is clear: an end to the war and a defeat for Israel, abandoning most of the hostages, leaving Hamas standing, and establishing a Palestinian state."

State Camp MK Almo Schuster said today that "if we see that our demand is not being accepted, we are not committed to three weeks, we can also leave before."

After the storm surrounding the defense minister's statement, a sharp confrontation broke out in the cabinet meeting with Ben Gvir saying that Gallant is "ignoring the majority." 

A new poll by Maariv shows the Netanyahu coalition one seat from 50, with Gantz's camp around 66.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is demanding a clarification from the Prime Minister and the war cabinet about the resumption of trade between PA-controlled territories and Gaza contrary to the cabinet's decision.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is pushing for tariffs on imports from Turkey in response to Erdogan's dramatic measures against Israel.

After the extensive crisis between Israel and the US, it was reported that the arms shipment that was delayed by US President Biden has now landed in Israel.

Benny Gantz's State Party declines to under 30 seats, and Netanyahu's camp is now at 50 seats, 14 less than his current coalition.

Meanwhile, State Camp party leader and war cabinet member Benny Gantz said that "the Defense Minister speaks words of truth."

The Defense Minister issued a challenge to the Prime Minister to declare that military civilian rule is off the table: "This is a moment of a national test, even if it involves a political cost."

The Prime Minister published a video explaining why destroying Hamas as a military force is essential for any post-Hamas arrangement in Gaza.

According to an Axios report, the Prime Minister issued the remarks during a cabinet meeting, telling representatives that Israel would do "whatever it takes" to insure its security.
