Former prime minister Naftali Bennett slams Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for firing Defense Minister Yoav Gallant during a time of war, saying the current leadership was “crazy and sick.”
“This nation of lions has a sick and crazy leadership,” Bennett says in a statement on X.
“I call on our soldiers on all fronts: Don’t lose focus against the enemy. If you guard us, we the public will guard you. Don’t despair, change is coming.”
His comments come amid widespread reports of discontent among thousands of reserve soldiers concerned their fate is being put in the hands of politicians with no military experience.
