Yair Golan, leader of Israel’s Democrats party, on Wednesday described the Israeli attack in Syria as a “provocative and dangerous step”.

He said the attack would deepen tensions with Israel’s allies, particularly the United States.

In a statement posted on X, Golan said: “Military force is once again being used for political considerations.”

He added that Israel was “paying the price in security”.

Moreover, Golan said the attack “brings Israel closer to a confrontation with Turkey and deepens the rift with its allies, particularly the United States”.
