Finance Minister and member of the security cabinet, Bezalel Smotrich, set a clear condition for his entry into the next government: dismantling terrorist strongholds in Judea and Samaria and confiscating weapons stockpiles in Arab society. In an interview at the security conference of Channel 14, Smotrich criticized the concept of escalation that prevents aggressive action, comparing it to the failures of October 7. He demanded a systematic work plan to go settlement by settlement, village by village, house by house, and collect the weapons. According to him, hundreds of thousands of weapons in Arab society pose the greatest threat to Israel's security, without geographical distinction. Smotrich expressed satisfaction with the Defense Minister's directive to prepare for the conquest of additional Palestinian camps.
