Eli Feldstein claims that shortly after October 7, Prime Minister Netanyahu was warned in his room about Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and the risks he poses. Feldstein responded to a sharp attack by Amit Segal on Ben Gvir, who wrote that another government with Ben Gvir in a significant role would be a heavy disaster for the country.

Eli Feldstein, a figure close to the Prime Minister's Office, claims that shortly after the October 7 massacre, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned in his room about National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and the risks he poses. Feldstein said the warning worked partially. These remarks were made in response to a sharp attack by commentator Amit Segal on Ben Gvir, who wrote that another government with Ben Gvir in a significant role would be a heavy disaster for the country. Segal argued that Ben Gvir's statements and conduct cause Israel diplomatic and image damage abroad and make it difficult for Israel's supporters in the US. However, Segal also noted Ben Gvir's achievements, including tightening conditions for terrorists and distributing weapons to civilians, and claimed that Ben Gvir's main strength lies in political marketing, and that he is gaining strength in polls.
