Comparing Netanyahu to Kim Jong Un, Lapid suggests IDF disobey order to air UN speech in Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOpposition Leader Yair Lapid lambastes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “megalomaniacal” decision to broadcast his UN General Assembly speech through loudspeakers placed across the Gaza Strip and calls for the IDF to disobey instructions to do so.
“Unfortunately for Netanyahu, he is not Kim Jong Un and the Israeli military should not broadcast the ruler’s speeches over loudspeakers while risking soldiers in the field,” writes Lapid on X.
“This is megalomaniacal madness that is unsuitable for a democratic country.”
