After the Iranian attack on Israel on Sunday, Ben-Gvir tweeted, "Impressive defense until now – now there must be a crushing attack."

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid criticized Ben-Gvir on the social media platform, saying that "never before has a minister in the defense cabinet done such heavy damage to the country's security, its image, and its international status. In an unforgivable tweet of one word, Ben-Gvir managed to mock and shame Israel from Tehran to Washington.

"Any other prime minister would have thrown him out of the cabinet this morning. Even the ministers who sit next to him and are silent as sheep are not free from responsibility. They are part of an unforgivable security and value failure."
