Likud: Ya’alon ‘changing his spots now that he’s a politician’
In a statement, Likud slams former defense minister Moshe Ya’alon, who earlier today criticized the Netanyahu government as “divisive” and vowed to compete against Netanyahu in the next elections.
“It’s entertaining to see how quickly Ya’alon changes his spots,” a party spokesperson says.
“Only a few months ago, he said: ‘Iran is an existential worry for Israel,'” Likud notes, apparently quoting from Ya’alon’s speech to the Munich Security Conference in February.
“Today at the Herzliya Conference, now that he’s a politician, he says Israel faces no existential threats,” the statement adds.
