Israeli opposition leader calls on Netanyahu to resign

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign, saying the Israeli leader has “lost the public’s trust.”

This is the first time Lapid has urged Netanyahu to quit since Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7.

“Netanyahu cannot remain Israel's prime minister. We need a national recovery government … he needs to go now. We cannot allow ourselves to have a Prime Minister who has lost the public’s trust, whether from a social or a security point of view,” Lapid said in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12.

“The people who are running things right are the defense establishments. This government is dysfunctional," he said. "We need to change the government.”

However, the former prime minister added that he doesn’t think now is the right time to hold elections.

Spose Roosevelt should have resigned in the midst of a war with Japan and accepted full responsibility for Pearl Harbor, according to your Israel hating logic.

Lapid is a puppet of the U.S arabphile state department. Their grubby finger prints are all over this. I doubt it would get much traction till after this war is concluded with hamas animals defeated. Of course this is the last thing the U.S state department hamas loving toadies want

That one was always a no-goodnik. And now is not the time to be bleating for Israel’s strong leader to step down. It’s entirely possible that the lefists in Israel causing such a disruption over Bibi’s attempt to reform the out-of-control courts were responsible for Israel’s less than perfect vigilance, allowing the Hamas massacre.

This is being coordinated with Biden and the rest of the rats. It came out today Biden is actually working to shoehorn in a more “moderate” Israeli Government.

Ben Gurion came back after a political defeat to become PM again.

But Lapid is an opportunistic scumbag - they’re still in the middle of a war, and no one has fully examined the facts of Oct. 7 yet (and possibly someone sabotaged him?).

For the sake of Israel’s existence, Bibi needs to last until Trump and a Pub Admin is back in office. Hang in there Bibi.

The agitprop for his removal begins. To incapicitate Israel’s war fighting capabilities via political civil war. Which in turn leads to what amounts to a hamas victory by Israel being side tracked by navel gazing. And then of course the illustrious U.S hamas toadie wing of the government will offer Israel a two state solution to save the Jews from themselves. Result. Palestinians get what they want. Israel’s demise. If the Israeli public fall for this U.S pro palestinian State department meddling in their politics at a time when they are basically fighting a war that will decide their future, than the consequences are on their own heads

Hamas said they don't want a two state solution.

I suspect all the leaders in the West are saying that to appease the "Arab Street".

From what I understand, the last time they talked anything about it was 23 years ago.

The IDF probably has more confidence in Israel’s ability to survive.
