Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s body language said it all. His feelings were evident during Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s speech to mark the opening of the Knesset’s winter session last Monday [Oct. 4].
During his speech, Bennett revealed that the Mossad had been operating in foreign countries to collect information about navigator Ron Arad, who was captured and disappeared in Lebanon 35 years ago. Even with his mask on, the defense minister looked resentful and jumpy. He was sitting beside Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and Justice Minister Gideon Saar, both of who looked relaxed and friendly, whenever they interacted. Anyone could see that of the people sitting there, Gantz was the outsider.
