Then explain to me that Channel 14 is not a propaganda channel of the government. From the lineup of the Patriots panel: Attorney David Potter, Brigadier General Amir Avivi, Eli Goldschmidt, Bardugo.
Translated from HebrewAfter reading the full and jarring investigation by @shlomieldar in the newspaper @Haaretz, we understand that Netanyahu's failure is not «only» in failing to update the security establishment about the severe warning from the Emir of Abu Dhabi. A broader picture of political failure emerges: direct talks with Hamas over the head of the security establishment, a policy of containment toward Hamas — feeding the monster just to buy quiet — and another string of failures. At best, this is reckless management of the state; at worst, negligence (if not something beyond that). Bibi was not fit, and is not fit today, to manage the affairs of the state. Anyone who votes for him is simply directly harming the security of the state, and the state commission of inquiry that we will establish will prove this beyond any doubt.
Translated from HebrewI am aware of the criticism over the past day, but I want to tell you that Yonatan Shalev is a hero of Israel. He fought in Gaza and Lebanon. I saw him fighting alongside me in the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee against the draft-dodging law, and then I understood that a young, determined, and brave voice is needed in the Knesset today. Yonatan, good luck! We have a lot of work. Together we will fix it.
Translated from HebrewI do not need to call on the serving public to pay for draft evasion and yeshivas. Let the draft dodgers deal with it alone.
Translated from HebrewTogether, we are returning to the Declaration of Independence. Before October 7, we reached the brink of civil war. We need to return to the broadest Israeli consensus — the Declaration of Independence. In the next government, we will legislate the Declaration of Independence as the preamble to the country's constitution. Together, we will make things right!
Translated from HebrewWishing success to my friend Yoav Segalovich. Yoav — you are a brave, principled and smart man. I hope you succeed in changing, even if only a little, the extremist worldview that has taken over the country with the help of poisonous and false propaganda.
Translated from HebrewSmotrich @bezalelsm You are not the leader of Religious Zionism; you only stole the name. At best, you are the leader of Haredal Zionism, and according to the polls, even that is not certain.
Translated from HebrewNetanyahu: “A state commission of inquiry is many things, but state-run it is not; the result is known in advance.” It is clear that the result is known in advance — because everyone knows what you know too — you are the head, you are guilty. On 27.10 you are going to answer to the public, and on 28.10 you are going to answer before a state commission of inquiry. #ביחדנתקן
Translated from HebrewSharon was a loyal and brave partner in the struggle for an equal sharing of the burden, safeguarding the rights of career, regular-service, and reserve personnel, and in many other matters on behalf of Israel’s citizens. I had the privilege of spending many hours with her in the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and in the plenum. Thank you for our shared work under difficult conditions… I wish you success on whatever path you choose.
Translated from HebrewBibi - instead of asking the chief of staff what the plan is for an outbreak in Judea and Samaria, ask yourself how to prevent it, because it doesn't seem to me that you're making an effort to prevent it. Maybe you're actually interested in it?
Translated from HebrewJust look at the irresponsible statements of the prime minister and defense minister to understand that we have arrogant and dangerous leadership. Soon, leadership that acts and does not talk.
Translated from HebrewThis morning, the security-concept conference of the Beyachad party, led by Naftali Bennett, took place, where I explained that the Qataris have an agenda similar to that of the Iranians, only through different means. Israel's standing in the world is very poor, and much of that is because of Qatar, an enemy state that invests enormous resources in actions against us. There is no avoiding declaring Qatar an enemy state. Our first task is to expose Qatar's true face to the world, and that is our task now.
Translated from HebrewNetanyahu is working toward a third intifada; if it isn't Gaza, Lebanon, or Iran, then we'll set the area in Judea and Samaria ablaze. The main thing is war. It's good for draft dodgers, less so for those who serve. But who cares.
