Israeli Democrats leader warns Netanyahu could use new attack on Iran to stay in power
Golan said another war with Iran would lack clear strategic purpose and warned Netanyahu could use it to stay in power.
- On Sunday, Democratic Party leader Yair Golan warned of an increasing risk of renewed confrontation with Iran, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of failing to ensure Israel's national security.
- Netanyahu lacks the public trust required to lead the country through a potential conflict, Golan stated, alleging that security is being used as a tool for the Prime Minister's political survival.
- Targeting specific government members, Golan argued the continued presence of Defence Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir poses a danger, calling security a "tool in Netanyahu's political survival struggle."
- Meanwhile, President Donald Trump stated Iran wants to negotiate, saying "there are talks," but warned the United States could target nuclear sites "in 10 minutes" amid tensions regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
- Golan has called for the opposition to form a new government with Arab parties, citing the opposition's strength of 65 seats in the Knesset as a path to replace the current administration.
