  • Defense Minister Israel Katz criticized Yair Golan for calling the assassination of Iran's Ali Khamenei a "mistake."
  • Katz questioned Golan's stance, asking why enemies would not seek to topple Netanyahu's government.
  • Katz listed past political positions of Bennett, Lapid, Lieberman, Eisenkot, and Abbas.
  • National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir accused the Israeli left of anti-Semitism.
  • Ben-Gvir stated the left laments the elimination of a major enemy of the Jewish people.
  • Ben-Gvir called for outlawing the left-wing party for its alleged anti-Semitic stance.

Defense Minister Israel Katz sharply criticized Yair Golan on Friday for calling the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei a "mistake" that did not serve Israel's interests. Katz questioned Golan's stance, contrasting it with past actions by other political figures. He stated, "If this is the alternative, what's the wonder that all our enemies are working to bring down Netanyahu and the right-wing government?"

Katz also invoked past political positions, mentioning Naftali Bennett's opposition to "with the roar of a lion," Yair Lapid's alleged transfer of sovereign territory to Hezbollah, Avigdor Lieberman's supposed desire to hand over Highway 6 to Arab army control, Gadi Eisenkot's wish to withdraw from Lebanon, and Mansour Abbas's alleged hidden agenda.

Meanwhile, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir accused the "deranged Israeli left" of approaching European anti-Semites. He asserted that those who "accused the IDF of killing babies as a hobby" are now lamenting the elimination of a major enemy of the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Ben-Gvir added that in a proper state with a sane legal system, such a party would be outlawed, calling their Knesset run a "stain of disgrace" on Israel and labeling them the partners of Bennett, Lieberman, and Eisenkot.
