Israel’s opposition leaders condemned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday for ending the war with Iran, to what they claim without achieving war objectives.
The U.S. and Iran agreed to a two-week cease-fire in an 11th-hour bid to avert all-out destruction of Iran threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Netanyahu's office said Israel supported Trump's decision to suspend the bombing of Iran, but maintained the cease-fire "does not include Lebanon," where Israeli forces are fighting Iran-backed Hezbollah.
"There has never been a political disaster like this in our entire history. Israel was not even close to the table when decisions were made concerning the core of our national security," the country's main opposition leader, Yair Lapid, wrote on X.
"The army carried out everything that was asked of it and the public showed remarkable resilience, but Netanyahu failed politically, failed strategically, and did not achieve any of the goals he himself set."
