Gantz tells Netanyahu to stop posting videos, warns against long war in Lebanon
Responding to criticism from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s Likud party that he failed to condemn a Hezbollah drone attack against the prime minister’s home in Caesarea for reasons of “petty politics,” Benny Gantz’s National Unity party called on the premier to “stop dealing in press statements and embarrassing videos.”
“At a time when hundreds of rockets are being launched at the citizens of Israel … citizens are being murdered and soldiers are falling, the Prime Minister is busy with himself and the property tax,” the party stated.
The Kan public broadcaster reported that property tax officials and a gardener had visited Netanyahu’s home after the attack.
Netanyahu must not allow Israel to be “dragged into a long war of attrition” in Lebanon, the opposition party continued, insisting that Israel must increase its strikes on Lebanon, including on state targets.
In addition, Israel must launch an “effective response” against Iran “as soon as possible,” the statement concluded.
