The day before yesterday I asked for Bennett's response to the claim raised
by the Prime Minister's people, including Minister Levin, that the cabinet
ministers have no problem if they wish to study and read material.
Everything is open to them, the National Security Council is available to
them at all times for briefings.

"That's not true," said the chairman of Bayit Yehudi. "If this were true,
why didn't any of the ministers know about the tunnel threat in real time,
before Operation Operation Protective Edge? Half a year ago, I asked for a
tour to be arranged for me to the South to learn about the renewed tunnel
threat. They told me there was no need. I insisted. I said I've got to
know what's going on. Not in a distorted way as was the case during
Operation Protective Edge. They told me OK, so we will prepare a tour for
all the cabinet ministers. Until today it has not happened. "
