Smotrich Links Palestinian Chants to Loss of Governance, Calls for Action
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich responded to reports of "Long Live Palestine" chants in the heart of the Galilee, attributing them to a loss of governance and advocating for a comprehensive change in Israel's approach to the region.
Smotrich stated that the chants are a manifestation of a serious threat emerging from both the north and the south, emphasizing the need for Israel to confront this challenge directly. He asserted that only the Religious Zionism party has presented a detailed plan to alter the situation in the Negev and Galilee.
He further criticized Benny Gantz, implying Gantz's reliance on Mansour Abbas would lead to unchecked Arab activity. Smotrich vowed that Religious Zionism would replicate its 'revolution' in Judea and Samaria within the Negev and Galilee, signaling a desire for significant demographic and political shifts in these northern areas.
