Yair Golan, chairman of the Democratic Party, launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, following an interview given by former Military Secretary Maj. Gen. (res.) Avi Gill. Gill stated that Netanyahu had access to all intelligence information and security assessments prior to the October 7th massacre, asserting that "there are too many lies in the air, and it is appropriate for the public to know what happened."
Golan responded by claiming Gill's remarks raise suspicions of fraud, deception, and criminal conduct within the Prime Minister's office, including the concealment of information and deliberate misrepresentation. He alleged that the country's security was subordinated to Netanyahu's political and personal interests.
"A prime minister endangers the security of Israel's citizens to ensure his political survival," Golan stated, urging the Attorney General to immediately order a comprehensive criminal investigation. He called for the probe to examine the potential involvement of Netanyahu and his staff.
Golan concluded by referencing the upcoming Knesset elections, scheduled in 19 days. "These are elections about truth. These are elections about responsibility and the security of the State of Israel," he declared.
