TL;DR

Opposition Democrats leader MK Yair Golan accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of being unwilling or unable to end Israel's wars and of using IDF soldiers as his 'political shield,' according to N12.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Opposition Democrats party chair and reserve major general Yair Golan issued a fresh critique of Prime Minister Netanyahu on Friday, accusing him of prolonging Israel's military campaigns for political reasons. According to a report by N12's Dafna Liel, Golan wrote that Netanyahu 'is unable or unwilling to end wars' and that he 'has turned IDF soldiers into his personal political shield.' The statement adds to a series of public attacks Golan has leveled against the prime minister in recent days. As The Zioneer has reported, Golan earlier this week accused Netanyahu of leaving office with Israel weakened and isolated, and of losing strategic initiative to Iran and its proxies. The latest remarks come amid ongoing political debate over the U.S.-Iran deal and the trajectory of Israel's multi-front conflict. The full text of Golan's statement was not released; the attribution rests on N12's report.
