"In these moments, we are all with the residents of the surrounding area and the security forces.”

Bennett took a ride on Netanyahu’s record in dealing with Gaza violence.

Silman has a long history of ship-jumping.

If Bennett-Ganz-Lapid had killed a squad or two of balloon-fliers, the nightmare would have ended.

Bennett has seen the murky relationship between Netanyahu and his previous main partner, Benny Gantz, who was made irrelevant by the PM.

The resignation is further proof of the reports that Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid has struck a deal with Bennett for a coalition government.

Matan Peleg, CEO of Im Tirtzu that initiated the move, said that the letter was a wake-up call to the heads of the Zionist parties.

United Torah Judaism chairman Moshe Gafni on Sunday attacked the chairman of Religious Zionism Bezalel Smotrich in the Haredi newspaper Yated Ne'eman.

Member of the Political-Security Cabinet Yoav Galant (Likud) told Reshet Bet radio Sunday morning "there will be no choice but to reach another round of violence in the Gaza Strip."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu subsequently called a meeting of the Political-Security Cabinet to discuss the escalation on the northern and southern borders.

“Sderot residents are, on one hand, trying to keep to their normal routines. But on the other hand there’s no choice in our current situation but to go to a ground operation in the Gaza Strip.”

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar said he would only stop firing rockets, and demanded in return that Israel stop attacking the Gaza Strip in response to the balloons carrying explosive charges.

The PM did not offer an explanation as to why he had chosen not to order stopping those incendiary weapons before an estimated 6,000 acres had gone up in smoke.

"We will not tolerate continued firing at Sderot," Davidi said. "Dealing with this in drips and drabs is not a workable plan."

"In Sderot, there's a different kind of Jew, one that says, 'Ad kan. That's it. We're done. We're not moving.' And that's a story that doesn't get told enough."

Sderot Mayor Alon Davidi told Ma'ariv it would be "unacceptable" for his town to become the battleground for various Gazan factions to fight each other.
