Gantz tells Netanyahu 'flashy presentations' won't return northerners home

Former Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz on Wednesday lashed out at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his handling of the confrontation with Hezbollah.

“Another day when the residents of the north feel first hand the complete failure that this government has brought upon us,” Gantz said in a post on X, referring to dozens of rockets fired by Hezbollah at northern Israel earlier in the day.

“Prime minister, the residents of the north will not return to their homes thanks to flashy presentations and campaigns, but through brave actions. It's time to put an end to hesitation and decide to bring them home,” Gantz added.

“It's time for you to put down the keys. You are not competent,” Gantz went on to say, addressing Netanyahu.
