Yair Golan, chairman of the "The Democrats" party, stated in an interview on "Shabbat Ba'Hamesh" that assassinating Iran's leader, Ali Khamenei, would be a mistake if it leads to prolonged war and unrealistic goals, such as the toppling of the Iranian regime. He clarified that while he praised security forces for their capabilities, a strategic move aimed at achieving a new nuclear deal and removing enriched uranium would be different. However, he argued that an assassination, followed by an endless war and the establishment of a more extreme Iranian regime, is a strategic error. Golan also criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu's overall strategy, claiming he opens fronts without knowing how to end wars or bring long-term security to Israel. He asserted that Netanyahu is responsible for the most severe security collapse in Israel's history and the greatest national strategic disaster since the Holocaust, citing alleged ignorance of war warnings, attempts to falsify facts, and prolonging the war for personal political reasons, including the neglect of hostages.
Golan further addressed his controversial remarks about the Haredi sector, clarifying that he was referring to the political leadership, which he accused of "robbing the public coffers" and promoting draft evasion, rather than the general Haredi population. He described the Haredi population as good and emphasized a shared future, calling for a deep change in their leadership. He also expressed pride in his party's activists who faced an attack on their stall in Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market, vowing to continue their election efforts undeterred.
