Labor leader Merav Michaeli joins the chorus of opposition voices condemning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the findings of the Meron disaster commission of inquiry.

“The lies and evasions do not mask the reality: Netanyahu is personally responsible for the disaster. That was true for Mount Meron; regarding the October 7 disaster it is a million times truer,” she writes on X, formerly Twitter.

“Netanyahu is dangerous for Israel. He was dangerous for Israel in the Meron disaster, in the October 7th disaster and he is dangerous for as long as he sits in the prime minister’s chair.”
