Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Gaza War:

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Gaza War: I think I had a very significant influence on the course of the war. There were moments when the war would have stopped long ago, at various junctures, and I had to invest a great deal in persuasion. My relationship with Netanyahu is very close. There were moments when I had to use a veto and prevent what I saw as surrender.
