Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “weak” and has lost control over his government, after lawmakers broke into the Sde Teiman military base earlier.

“The prime minister asked two hours ago to calm passions. Since then, journalists have been beaten, posters reading ‘the military advocate general to prison’ have been waved, and masked uniformed men with guns demonstrated against the IDF base of Beit Lid,” the statement reads.

“This is not a riot, this is an attempted coup by an armed militia against a weak prime minister who is unable to control his government,” Lapid adds.
