Former minister Beni Begin sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, accusing him of descending to the lowest level for blaming the former head of the Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, for the October 7th failures. Begin stated on Radio 103fm that Netanyahu believes no investigation is needed and called Bar "simply a criminal." Begin asserted that Netanyahu himself disseminates "baseless accusations" and "lies," calling his actions a disgrace to his office.
Meanwhile, Brigadier General (res.) Ofer Winter, head of the 'Amcha Israel' party, also attacked Netanyahu in an interview with Channel 12 News. Winter claimed the Prime Minister is "in a conceptualization" and is not ashamed to admit it. Winter's criticism was directed at Netanyahu and decision-makers for accepting this flawed perception, stating they "like suckers" adopted it.
Despite his criticism, Winter explained his intention to recommend Netanyahu for Prime Minister, citing his own right-wing political stance. He stated that the public chooses the Prime Minister through democracy, not him, and that if Netanyahu continues in office, he will be the one chosen by the people.
