In response, Ben Gabir attacked Netanyahu: "Unfortunately, once again the Prime Minister is leading a wrong policy that harms deterrence. The decision today in the cabinet to force visits by foreign observers to the prisons to check the condition of terrorists is a serious mistake."

He also added that "our abductees in Gaza receive abuse, not visits and concern for their rights. These visits harm deterrence and negotiations with Hamas, raise the morale of the terrorists, may lead to prison riots, and beyond that it is a violation of Israeli sovereignty, and an opening for international intervention in other issues in the future. No A country that respects its sovereignty and security would not allow this to happen.'

A short time later, a political official claimed that "the prime minister and the cabinet are not ready to approve a visit by the Red Cross. All of our abductees do not receive such visits. However, they determined that an Israeli judge and two former British ex-selected by Israel could do sample tests to prove that Israel is complying with the the international standard".

As mentioned, before the debate, the Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir objected to Britain's desire to visit the security prisoners in the prison: "Did our abductees receive a similar visit?".

Netanyahu supported the possibility of a visit by two foreign observers with an Israeli judge, while Minister Ben Gvir strongly opposed it and backed up the opposition with a High Court ruling in the Obeid and Dirani case according to which the requirement of reciprocity was accepted, as well as a professional opinion of Shabbos stating that visits would incite the Nohvot. Ben Gvir He wanted to propose the requirement of reciprocity according to which there would be an identical visit by an international representative to our abductees in Gaza.

Ben Gvir presented to Netanyahu a series of reasons for his opposition:

• This is a demand designed to weaken us in the negotiations. The situation of the prisoners only stresses Hamas
• The requirement of reciprocity: – The Israeli abductees did not receive any identical visit from an international body in the captivity of Hamas.
• The British probably did not realize that the mandate had ended and the White Paper was not in effect.
• Shavas has a professional and independent supervision system
• The demand of an inspector's visit on their behalf is a violation of the country's sovereignty. No self-respecting country agrees to this.
• Shab's opinion – such a visit would be an inciting factor that could lead to riots among the security prisoners.
