The IDF is looking into the video and commanders are talking to their troops about it. The soldier's actions are seen as breaking military rules and might be criminal. The soldier's video was shared by Netanyahu's son, Yair, who lives in Miami and is not involved in the war. The soldier said they support the Prime Minister and won't follow the Defense Minister's orders. The soldier also mentioned that they won't let Hamas or Fatah control Gaza. The soldier's actions are being investigated by the military police. In another incident, a $320 million US-built pier to provide aid to Gaza faced challenges in its first week.

After public protests, Defense Minister Gallant was reinstated following controversial comments about Gaza. The soldier in the video demanded his resignation and expressed support for the Prime Minister. The soldier's actions are being investigated by the military.
