TL;DR

In a radio interview, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant sharply criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu's security policy, saying that a failure to respond forcefully to attacks in Beirut's Dahieh district over the past month has emboldened Hezbollah and exacted a heavy price on Israeli civilians and soldiers. Gallant also argued that Israel and the U.S. missed a realistic opportunity to physically remove enriched uranium from Iran, and that the war's objectives were wrongly defined from the start.
