Lapid says seditious videos by IDF troops are ‘dangerous and disastrous’
Opposition Yair Lapid says videos calling for rebellion within the Israeli military are “dangerous and disastrous” regardless if they are authentic or staged, referring to, among others, a video of a reservist threatening mutiny that circulated social media Saturday.
Lapid writes on X the fact that supporters of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “enthusiastically” shared the video demonstrates “another attempt to escape responsibility for the one who led to the biggest disaster in the history of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.”
“This insanity should be stopped. This government needs to be removed from our lives before it destroys everything that is true and sacred to this country,” he writes.
