Israel’s Channel 12 News reported last night that during the latest Cabinet session, ministers Betzalel Smotrich, Yariv Levin, and David Amsalem were against the targeted killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. In contrast, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant advocated for the operation to go ahead.
The report noted that Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu did not take a definitive stance on the matter.
According to the broadcast, Netanyahu gave the green light for the operation while he was in the United States, as a tactical opportunity presented itself during his visit.
Associates of Smotrich, Levin, and Amsalem dismissed the claims made in the report, calling it inaccurate.
Smotrich addressed the rumors on X, writing, “I heard that there are frustrated people who claim that I oppose the elimination of Nasrallah. Oh well. We will continue to take care of Israel’s security. Until victory.”
