Minister Bezalel Smotrich fiercely criticized Gadi Eisenkot following Eisenkot's stated intention to cancel the role of minister within the Ministry of Defense. Smotrich asserted that this move would lead to the closure of the settlement administration he established and the return of settler affairs management to military rule. "As I have been warning for several weeks, Gadi Eisenkot announced yesterday his intention to cancel the role of minister in the Ministry of Defense," Smotrich stated, claiming the decision signifies "rolling back the settlement revolution."
Smotrich linked these developments to a perceived split in the right-wing bloc ahead of elections. "I hear. And I am worried. Fragments of parties on the right will bring down the bloc and bring Eisenkot and his partners to power," he warned.
Furthermore, Smotrich alleged that a government led by Eisenkot and his allies would evacuate farms and communities, shut down the Eli preparatory academy and Channel 14, harm the state's Jewish identity, and lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state, which he termed a "terror state."
