Channel 14 commentator Itamar Fleishman said Sunday evening that opposition members and the Israeli media lack the courage to acknowledge there are benefits to the agreement with Lebanon, arguing they fear that saying anything positive about Prime Minister Netanyahu would cause "something very bad" to happen.
Channel 14 commentator Itamar Fleishman posted Sunday evening a sharp critique of opposition figures and Israeli media, asserting they refuse to publicly recognize any benefits in the emerging agreement with Lebanon. According to Fleishman, the refusal stems from a fear that offering even one positive word about Prime Minister Netanyahu would cause "something very bad" to happen.
The remark adds to a broader thread of right-wing commentary arguing that the political opposition has been hypocritical in its response to the Lebanon agreement. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, commentator Mati Tuchfeld accused the opposition of hypocrisy for pressing to end the war and then attacking Netanyahu for pursuing a diplomatic closure. Similarly, analyst Yossi Yehoshua assessed the deal as beneficial but fragile, and commentator Yinon Magal argued the left is exploiting the agreement without specifying where Netanyahu erred.
Fleishman's post, shared by colleague Yinon Magal's channel, follows a pattern of Israeli right-wing media figures framing the debate over the Lebanon deal as one of political loyalty versus substantive assessment. The commentator did not detail which specific benefits he believes the agreement brings.
