""It would be a good idea to send the Chief of Staff to Sri Lanka, to learn how they subdued the Tamils in 2009." According to a report by Michael Shemesh in Kan News, Deputy Head of the Operations Division, Brigadier General (res.) Reli Margalit, who came to the discussion to give an overview to the Knesset members, replied: "Oh, yes? So maybe you can recommend us a course?" MK Limor Son Har Melech of Otzma Yehudit Aksa: "Be sure not to go to the Wexner Foundation." On another topic, MK Halevi asked: "What is the data on 2.2 million residents in Gaza based on? How can we believe them?" and MK Tali Gottlieb added: "That's right. Commanders in the field tell me that there are no Gazans at all - neither in the north nor in the south." Journalist Yanir Kozin of Galei Tzahal reported on what happened in another part of the discussion - on the proposal to examine the Knesset of Palestinian workers as a pilot for Israel. The discussion was held with the participation of National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi. Hanegbi: The cabinet rejected the proposal to conduct a pilot for bringing Palestinian workers into Israel, the Shin Bet recommends renewing the discussion on the proposal and it is possible that it will reach the cabinet again. Tali Gottlieb: The Shin Bet, the one who said that Hamas is deterred? A Shin Bet that cannot be trusted. Hanegbi: The Shin Bet is an organization whose members dedicate their lives to Israel's security. On October 7 alone, ten of its members were killed. Gottlieb: But what can we do when we can't trust this thing? Hanegbi: We don't have another Shin Bet. Gottlieb: Then establish another Shin Bet! Establish an intelligence organization that can be trusted. Hanegbi: Tali, please let us end the discussion on the subject.
