Yair Golan declares that if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government does not obey the High Court of Justice when it rules on the firing of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, “we must move from protest to struggle,” Ynet reports.
Addressing a conference organized by the Yediot Aharonot daily, Golan, the chairman of The Democrats party, says that until the so-called Qatargate scandal centered on Qatari influence in the Prime Minister’s Office is resolved, he does not understand how Israel can continue its military campaign in the Gaza Strip.
“I have difficulty seeing how it is possible to continue this action, and how it is possible to carry out a security operation that calls for the deployment of reservists and risking lives without having security at the center of Israel’s decision-making,” Golan says.
