Hostage Survivor Slams Netanyahu, Likud Official's 'Incitement'
Yocheved Lifshitz, a former Hamas hostage, has fiercely criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a Likud party official, Itzik Bonzel, who posted on Facebook wishing she could be returned to Hamas captivity. Lifshitz accused Netanyahu of dispatching Bonzel to incite against her, suggesting this was a tactic to divert attention from intelligence warnings about the October 7th attacks that Netanyahu allegedly received and failed to act upon. She asserted that Netanyahu is ultimately responsible for the failures that led to the Hamas massacre.
Gazi Izankot, chairman of the Yesh! party, also condemned the incident, labeling it a "moral low" by the "government of failure" led by Netanyahu. Izankot stated that a worthy leader would show humility, and that anyone who endorsed a person wishing such a fate upon an Israeli citizen is unfit to lead the nation. He characterized the Likud party as having lost its way.
