Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in a closed session, which quickly became contentious. During the briefing, Netanyahu cited past Cabinet protocols, asserting that former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett had consistently opposed occupying the Gaza Strip. The session saw opposition members expressing frustration and walking out, criticizing Netanyahu for focusing on past disagreements rather than current issues. Tensions ran high as opposition figures accused the Prime Minister of avoiding questions and using the session to target political rivals.
