The Israeli government's response to the latest round of violence from the Gaza Strip was met with harsh criticism by a number of right-wing politicians. 

The Otzma Yehudit faction in the Knesset will boycott any votes in the Knesset on Wednesday and hold a special faction meeting in the Gaza border town of Sderot following what they called a "weak response in Gaza," the party announced on Wednesday morning.

Coalition whip MK Ofir Katz and Ministerial Liaison to the Knesset, David Amsalem (Likud), told Ben-Gvir that his conduct was "unacceptable," Walla News reported.

Otzma Yehudit has six Knesset members, and without it the coalition only has 58 votes, versus the opposition's 56. The coalition on Wednesday morning demanded that all its members attend the Knesset plenum in order not to lose votes, Walla News added.
