Yair Golan: Release of Shifa chief part of governmental chaos and failure

Sam Sokol is a former political correspondent at The Times of Israel. He was previously a reporter for the Jerusalem Post, Jewish Telegraphic Agency and Haaretz. He is the author of "Putin’s Hybrid War and the Jews"

Democrats-Labor chairman Yair Golan slams the decision to free Shifa Hospital director Mohammad Abu Salmiya, stating that his release proves that the government is unfit to lead the country.

“A government that does not know how to conduct a war, that releases prisoners without any exchange when 120 hostages are still being held in Gaza, is a government that needs to come to an end immediately,” the former Israel Defense Forces deputy chief says in a statement.

He decries what he describes as “chaos and government failure under the auspices of Ben Gvir and Netanyahu.”
