The head of the National Camp, Knesset member Benny Gantz, continues to challenge and pressure Netanyahu's government, calling for the continuation of intensified military activity in Lebanon until a political settlement is reached.

Knesset member Gantz continues to flank the government from the right militarily, and calls on the government to conduct negotiations with Lebanon and other fronts only under fire.

Gantz published a video from his office in which he criticized the government for the delay in resolving the northern front: "The top priority in the north is to bring the residents back safely. It was supposed to happen by the first of September, which has long passed."

The chairman of Blue and White continued and called on the government not to agree to any unilateral ceasefire, and to maintain military pressure in Lebanon: "Now, for this to happen quickly, we must not agree to a unilateral ceasefire. On the contrary. Even if international pressure is increasing, we need to intensify the strikes."

Moreover, Benny Gantz called for agreeing only to an arrangement that would neutralize Hezbollah and its ability to threaten the north: "We must reach an arrangement that will distance and neutralize Hezbollah, and ensure us freedom of action against any violation. A unilateral ceasefire will not bring back the residents of the north – it will miss the opportunity to maximize the military pressure achieved at a high cost, it will return IDF soldiers to combat under inferior conditions, and it will undermine the achievements."

Gantz concluded his remarks and stated that any negotiations must continue under fire: "The order of things is simple and clear: first an arrangement – then a halt."
