"The decision was made on the basis of incorrect information" - Smotrich and Strook against the stabilization force in Gaza
Ministers Smotrich and Strook demand an urgent convening of the cabinet and a halt to the entry of the stabilization force into Gaza, claiming the decision was made on the basis of incorrect information. They warn that the roadmap published by the Peace Council contradicts the war's objectives.
Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Orit Strook sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding an urgent convening of the political-security cabinet and a halt to the entry of the stabilization force (ISF) into the Gaza Strip. According to them, the official document published by the Peace Council differs fundamentally from the outline presented to the ministers during cabinet discussions, and the decisions made were based on a presentation that does not match the text of the roadmap published over the weekend. They warn that without immediate action, the outline could create a new security reality contradicting the war's objectives and the understandings with international parties. The ministers demand that Israel announce it does not accept the roadmap in its current form and make a decision preventing the entry of the ISF until the document is corrected. Strook is quoted as saying that from the outset it was clear that no international force would do the work in Gaza, and only the State of Israel could destroy Hamas, and she calls for bringing the agreement to a vote in the Knesset.
