Yair Golan, Chairman of the Democratic Party, has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of pushing for renewed, extensive attacks against Iran for personal political reasons. The accusation follows a Financial Times report suggesting Netanyahu is advocating for such strikes. Golan stated that Netanyahu is a "sick and weak leader" clinging to power and willing to endanger Israel's security to save himself. He asserted that Netanyahu lacks the legitimacy to drag Israel into another military campaign for political and personal considerations on the eve of elections.
Golan urged the Chief of Staff and heads of the security establishment to "stand like a solid wall" against any attempt to exploit the IDF for political purposes. He called on them to block any military move intended to serve personal interests under the guise of security needs.
