Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called the potential ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas a “serious error”, reports, citing Israeli media. “Hamas is at its lowest point since the beginning of the war, and this is not the time to give it a lifeline,” Smotrich told the Haredi radio station , according to the site. The minister said without providing details that the deal would not serve the interests of Israel or return the captives “because in the end it’s a partial deal”. Yet, Smotrich did not threaten to pull out from the governing coalition should a deal be reached.
