Labor will mark the first day of the Knesset’s new legislative session on Monday by submitting a vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, the left-wing party says in a statement accusing it of having “failed miserably in managing the state in all its aspects.”
The current government is “a government that does not provide security as required for the citizens of Israel, neither personal nor national security; a government that has failed to respond to the residents displaced from their homes for over seven months in the north and in the south; and above all, a government that is unable to bring home all 128 hostages from Hamas captivity,” Labor alleges.
“This is a government motivated by political considerations, which has violated the basic contract between the leadership and its citizens. Every day it remains in power, it is a danger to the State of Israel.”
