- Opposition is accused of prioritizing political attacks over citizen security.
- A Flydubai flight incident is cited as evidence of this alleged political maneuvering.
- The article contrasts responsible leadership with cynical political tactics.
- The opposition is criticized for seeking relevance through constant attacks on Netanyahu.
A recent incident aboard a Flydubai flight, which involved a security scare, has highlighted what the article describes as the Israeli opposition's lack of concern for citizen security. Instead of exercising restraint while the Prime Minister dealt with a large-scale event, opposition voices repeatedly attacked Prime Minister Netanyahu. The author argues that the opposition's priority is attacking Netanyahu, even before Israeli citizens who narrowly escaped a potential terror incident have returned home safely.
The article posits that the incident, initially perceived as a security event, quickly devolved into a political one, according to security commentator Amos Harel. However, once the situation was re-evaluated as primarily a security matter, the focus returned to its core issues. The author contrasts "responsible security leadership" with "cynical and despicable political leadership."
While the Prime Minister was managing a significant event that could have resulted in a catastrophe, the article claims irresponsible opposition members sought only to remain relevant. Their focus, it asserts, was on maintaining a narrative that served them, rather than ensuring the safety of the 174 passengers aboard the flight. These opposition figures are accused of rushing to television studios to downplay the incident and frame it as another near-disaster under Netanyahu's leadership.
The piece concludes by questioning the opposition's sense of responsibility and integrity towards the country and its leadership, attributing the safe resolution of the incident to divine intervention, calling it a miracle.
