Israeli officials are becoming increasingly critical of Gal Hirsch, the minister appointed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, responsible for coordinating the rescue of Israeli captives taken to Gaza.
According to Haaretz, the officials say Hirsch is failing to fulfil his role effectively or contribute anything substantial.
The officials have also criticised him for his decision to be in the centre of the first photo published of Israelis being released from captivity.
