Lapid criticizes Netanyahu over election rhetoric

Yair Lapid, the leader of the Israeli opposition, attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following a security meeting they both attended. He criticized Netanyahu for using security threats as part of election campaigning, emphasizing that Israel’s security and military rules are not tools for politics. Lapid pointed out that Netanyahu failed to respond to security warnings 28 days before the elections, and reassured that the defense systems and the army are fully prepared. He called for an official security session to discuss threats professionally, rather than for political purposes. He stressed that the timing and information regarding threats should come from trusted security agencies, warning against exploiting the situation for personal electoral gains. He also highlighted the need to coordinate efforts to ensure the country’s security ahead of the scheduled election on October 27.
