Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir again attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision, along with security officials, to expand humanitarian aid to Gaza this evening (Sunday). However, he is not yet threatening to resign from the government.

Fast track or regular track: will you decide how to receive your money?

"It is moral bankruptcy that while our hostages are in Gaza - our prime minister is delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. I think that at this point what should have been delivered to Gaza is one thing - bombs, to blow up, occupy, encourage immigration and win the war."

Yesterday, the minister announced that the Prime Minister's Office informed him on Saturday night, in retrospect, that a security consultation was held on Saturday, in which it was decided to increase aid, without him, he said, being invited to participate.

Ben Gvir emphasized that he was available for consultation even on Shabbat, and expressed displeasure at being left out of the decision-making circle.

On the other hand, Energy Minister Eli Cohen supported the government's change in policy over the weekend and the decision made to increase aid to Gaza and provide humanitarian respites.

"Hamas wants decisions to be made against Israel in the international arena so that the war will stop and they will continue to rule. We did not fall into this trap," the minister claimed in an interview with Channel 2.

He explained: "There were talks between the Foreign Ministry and their counterparts in Europe, and in order to prevent European sanctions on Israel, it was decided to advance these steps."
