Opposition leader and Democrats party chair Yair Golan accused Prime Minister Netanyahu on Tuesday of selling the public a 'total victory' lie, saying the north remains under rocket fire three years into the war. Golan argued the failure in Lebanon is tied to failures in Gaza and Iran, and that the government has lost its mandate.
Opposition leader and former IDF deputy chief of staff Yair Golan published a statement Tuesday morning criticizing Prime Minister Netanyahu's handling of the war, specifically the ongoing situation on the northern border.
'Three years of war, and Netanyahu is still selling the public the 'total victory' lie,' Golan wrote. 'The reality is the opposite: the north is being shelled, every day there is another permitted-for-publication name, and Israeli citizens continue to pay the price of failure.'
Golan, who leads the Democrats party, linked the failures across the fronts, saying 'the failure in Lebanon is interwoven with the failure in Gaza and Iran.' He argued that the current leadership is incapable of reaching a strategic decision and securing Israel.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Golan's criticism of the prime minister, including over the appointment of the state comptroller and his management of the war. The northern border has seen ongoing rocket fire and sirens despite a declared ceasefire framework, drawing repeated criticism from local leaders and opposition figures.
