Lapid on Iran ceasefire: ‘There has never been such a diplomatic disaster in all our history’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOpposition Leader Yair Lapid assails the prime minister over the Iran ceasefire.
“There has never been such a diplomatic disaster in all our history,” he writes on X. “Israel wasn’t even at the table when decisions were made concerning the core of our national security.”
Lapid says that while “the military carried out everything it was asked to do [and] the public showed remarkable resilience,” PM Netanyahu “failed diplomatically, failed strategically and did not meet any of the goals he himself set.”
He adds: “It will take us years to repair the diplomatic and strategic damage that Netanyahu caused due to arrogance, negligence and a lack of strategic planning.”
