Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, “Israel’s security has never depended on a single person, and will never depend on a single person.” According to him.

In his confirmation speech, Gantz added: “We have an experienced, skilled and strong defense system. Mr. Netanyahu, we both know very well who ran the defense system in the past year.” According to his speech.

“No political action justifies … the public confrontation it produces because of political needs toward the United States, our best friend,” Gantz continued.

And Gantz added: “I promise you that we will continue to strengthen relations with the United States, our most important ally, and we will work with the (US) administration so that Iran does not have nuclear weapons.”
