Smotrich's Pitiful Attempt to Engineer History
הניסיון העלוב של סמוטריץ' להנדס את ההיסטוריה
Summary
An opinion column accuses Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich of trying to rewrite history by claiming credit for freeing hostages who were released in a deal he opposed. It recalls that Smotrich initially opposed the first November 2023 hostage deal and only voted for it after being assured the war would immediately resume.
