Opposition Leader Yair Lapid joins the chorus of voices criticizing the government over the release of the director of Gaza’s Shifa Hospital, which was used by Hamas to hold Israeli hostages following October 7.
“The news this morning and the chaos in the government regarding the release of the director of Shifa Hospital is a direct continuation of the recklessness and dysfunction of the Israeli government which is causing damage to the security of Israel’s citizens,” Lapid accuses.
“The defense minister ‘did not know,’ the national security minister ‘was not involved,’ — [there is] an exchange of accusations. Everything is leaked. This is what moral and functional disintegration looks like,” he says.
