After the reports this morning about the transfer of weapons to the PA, people around Finance Minister Smotrich say that they were not aware of the move and he is seething with rage.

Those around the Minister of Finance estimate that the move is part of the preparation of the ground, in conjunction with the negotiations at the President's House for the formation of a left-wing government together with Gantz.

Those close to Smotrich estimate that the measures are part of a course of "payments" led by Netanyahu, which will eventually lead to the establishment of a government that will challenge the revival of the Oslo Accords.

Finance Minister Smotrich announced that in light of the move to transfer weapons and tools to the Authority, an urgent consultation will take place during the morning.

The outrage around Smotrich surrounding the move was also expressed through the minister's family, with his brother Tuvia Smotrich, calling for the dissolution of the government if necessary, to prevent the transfer of weapons.
