The far-right minister said that while his party could not prevent the deal, they were able "to ensure" through the cabinet and "other ways", that the war would not end without achieving Israel's full goals, foremost of which is "the complete destruction of Hamas in Gaza".
He said that his faction had demanded and "received a commitment" that the method of war would be completely changed.
That included, said Smotrich, "through a gradual takeover of the entire Gaza Strip, the lifting of the restrictions imposed on us by the [US President Joe] Biden administration, and full control of the Strip, so that humanitarian aid will not reach Hamas as it has been until now."
