Lapid slams Ben Gvir’s ‘unforgivable’ post on alleged Iran strike
Opposition leader Yair Lapid levels harsh criticism at National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, after the far-right lawmaker called an alleged Israeli strike on Iran “lame.”
“Never before has a minister in the security cabinet done such heavy damage to the country’s security, its image and its international status,” Lapid writes on X, formerly Twitter.
“In an unforgivable one-word tweet, Ben Gvir managed to mock and shame Israel from Tehran to Washington,” he charges.
