Israeli Minister Attacks Netanyahu: He Chats Uselessly

Israeli Tourism Minister Haim Katz attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he was "bothering."


The Israeli Broadcasting Authority said on Tuesday that the attack occurred during a government meeting on Monday.


The committee added: "The cabinet session witnessed a sharp political dispute after Katz launched a public attack on Netanyahu, describing his recent statements regarding the Iranian threat and the raids in Yemen as idle chatter and a waste of money and weapons."
Katz was quoted as saying: "As long as Iran is not defeated, what Netanyahu is doing is just useless noise. We must leave the Americans to deal with the Houthis. This is not our responsibility."
The Authority noted that Netanyahu responded by saying, "Haim, I cannot elaborate on this in front of everyone. If you would like, come later and we can talk privately."
The commission said, "This public confrontation reveals the extent of the division within the government regarding Israeli intervention on foreign fronts, amid controversy over the effectiveness of the current strategy toward Iran and its proxies in the region."
