Yair Golan, Chairman of the Democratic Party and a former Major General, has sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, labeling him a "sick and weak leader" clinging to power and willing to endanger Israel's security for personal survival. Golan, who has a background as Deputy Chief of Staff, argued that Netanyahu has no legitimacy to drag Israel into further military conflict for political and personal reasons on the eve of elections.
Golan stated that the lives of soldiers and citizens are not "playthings" in Netanyahu's survival struggle. He issued a direct appeal to the Chief of Staff and heads of the security establishment, urging them to stand firm against any attempt to exploit the IDF for political purposes and to block military actions driven by personal interests disguised as security needs.
He connected these concerns to the upcoming Knesset elections on October 27, calling on Israeli citizens to vote to "save Israel from a dangerous government of massacre and evasion." Golan expressed confidence that replacing the current government would restore security and sanity to Israel.
This criticism follows a recent legal dispute where Golan filed a lawsuit against Prime Minister Netanyahu's wife, Sara Netanyahu, over her alleged remarks about him in an interview. The lawsuit included claims of defamation and actual danger to his life, which he stated led to threats and the need for security. This action came after Golan sent Netanyahu a warning letter demanding a public apology and financial compensation, which he pledged to donate to survivors of the Nova music festival massacre.
