Blue and White heads exit Knesset plenum as DM reads protocols that include unintelligible Gantz statement under pressure of Gaza operation.

Yamina Chairman Defense Minister Naftali Bennett read today at the Knesset plenum embarrassing and confused quotations by Blue and White leaders from cabinet hearing minutes during Operation Protective Edge.

Among other things, the words of Benny Gantz and Moshe (Boogie) Ya'alon, who served as IDF Chief of Staff and Defense Minister respectively, were cited from the State Comptroller's report.

Bennett cited in this connection statements by Defense Minister Ya'alon at the time, calling for no action against the Gaza Islamic attack tunnels while cautioning against "miscalculation".

Bennett also quoted a statement by Gantz that he called unintelligible: "Gaza has an offensive threat, but it's not an offending threat. They have dozens of tunnels, we know about others, we can't find them. They don't have too much meaning, it's hundreds of organized terrorists who come to attack, I don't think they want broad escalation.”

MEANWHILE with that in mind:

Prime Minister Binyamin **Netanyahu has met with rabbis in religious Zionism in recent days to persuade them to withdraw support for the Yamina Party headed by Minister Naftali Bennett ahead of the elections, Haaretz website reported. arutzsheva

BUT:

Earlier today, Transport Minister Betzalel Smotrich wondered why Netanyahu chooses to damage his own camp.

"Can anyone explain the strategy of the national camp leader who, instead of trying to increase the Right bloc and bring in 61 seats, chooses to shoot within the tank and attack his most natural partners?", Smotrich asked on Twitter. arutzsheva

Explanation:  Call it “shoot yourself in the foot” = Oxford: "Fig. to cause oneself difficulty; to be the author of one's own misfortune. **I am a master at shooting myself in the foot."
