Opposition leader Yair Lapid sharply criticized on Wednesday the ceasefire with Iran announced earlier in the day, calling it a failure of political and strategic leadership and warning of long-term consequences for Israel’s security.
“There has never been such a political disaster in all of our history,” Lapid wrote in a statement, arguing that “Israel wasn't even part of the discussions when decisions were made concerning our national security.”
He added that while “the military carried out everything that was asked of it” and “the public demonstrated amazing resilience,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “failed politically, failed strategically, and didn't meet a single one of the goals that he himself set.”
Lapid warned that “it will take us years to repair the political and strategic damage that Netanyahu

Chair of the Knesset’s National Security Committee and a member of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, MK Zvika Fogel, reacted to the ceasefire announced by Trump with a sharply worded post on X.
“Donald, you really wimped out,” he wrote, using the Hebrew word for “duck” to describe the American president, which in slang implies weakness or a lack of backbone.
The Israeli version of Schumer.
This should be interesting.
I have to agree, this was a big mistake!
Politics.
Politics comes before everything. Before national security, before strategic interests, before truth. Before everything.
My opinion. Trump and Netanyahu know what they are doing. The Islamic regime will indeed fall. A little patience and trust are required here.
I should have started a business importing French cheese when I was younger.
You don’t knock a hornet’s nest off a tree and not deal with the hornets.
Politicians bloviating?
Say it ain’t so!
you are correct
we don’t know what we don’t know
that is especially relevant when considering the Iranian Army the leadership of which has been exempted from death
“A little patience and trust are required here.”
Trump and Team MAGA seem to come out on the losing end all too often.
If Israel doesn’t like it, keep bombing—and getting bombed.
Good luck with all that.
So they want victory at the cost of every American.
I don’t like cease fires but, I’ll give it two weeks to see what happens.
If Israel and the gulf states don’t like it then let them ally and invade Iran. The US can sell them all the weapons they need.
Feckless conservatives always bite the hand that feeds them and desert the only means for their political existence......that means you
My reaction is “give them a week and the Iranians will violate the ceasefire.” Perhaps Trump and Bibi are counting on it.
Shiite Iran wants to fight the West to the last Sunni Arab, so fair’s fair!
I respectfully disagree. If Trump and MAGA had not overcome the election Cheat in 2024, can you imagine what kind of nation and world we would have now? The stuff of nightmares.
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ‘didn’t meet a single one of the goals that he himself set.’”
The Jerusalem Post
if you are looking to feel better, war or any battle is. not the place for you to be.
It’s dirty, ugly, and at times takes strategic actions that may seem as weakness before the next step. (retreat, only to fight from another angle, etc)
If you have experienced war at some point in your life, you would know of this.
