Lapid Accuses Netanyahu of Using Security Warnings for Election Campaigning

Opposition leader Yair Lapid accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday evening of using security warnings for election campaigning. In a Hebrew post, Lapid criticized Netanyahu’s handling of Israel’s security and argued that his military rhetoric did not match the results. Lapid said the prime minister had failed to turn Israel’s military strength and the international backing available after October 7 into the outcomes he had promised. He called for Netanyahu to be replaced, presenting a change of leadership as necessary for Israel to return to winning.
