Opposition leader Lapid attacks Netanyahu: “A crybaby and a coward”

Lapid criticized the Israeli prime minister, saying: “Netanyahu is not a victim, he is a crybaby and a coward. Every soldier in Gaza is more threatened than he is.”

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid on Monday rejected accusations of incitement against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming that any soldier fighting in Gaza faces a greater threat than the prime minister.

Lapid expressed his views in a post on the social media platform X, referring to a government meeting that took place on Sunday.

“Two hours of discussion in the government about the incitement against him. There is no two-hour discussion about the 101 victims of Kibbutz Bari. There is no two-hour discussion about the opening of the school year in the north on September 1,” Lapid said incredulously.

“The hate campaign against him alone is worth a two-hour discussion? Is that the only thing that counts?” he asked.

Lapid criticized the Israeli prime minister, saying: “Netanyahu is not a victim, he is a crybaby and a coward. Every soldier in Gaza is more threatened than he is.”

The opposition leader accused Netanyahu of building a “poison machine” and a “hate machine” that was gradually taking over all of Israel’s media, and “he complained that they were inciting hatred against him.”

Ongoing genocide

Israel, which is currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for genocide against the Palestinians, has been waging a devastating war against Gaza since October 7.

According to the Gaza Health Ministry In Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip, which began on October 7, 38,584 Palestinians were killed and 88,881 injured.

In addition, at least 11,000 people are missing and are believed to be lying dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Gaza Strip.

According to Israel, 1,200 soldiers and civilians were killed during the flood relief operation in Al-Aqsa on October 7. Israeli media reported that many Israelis were killed by friendly fire that day.

Palestinian and international organizations say the majority of the dead and injured are women and children.

The Israeli war led to an acute famine, especially in the north of the Gaza Strip, and caused the deaths of many Palestinians, especially children.

The Israeli aggression also resulted in the forced displacement of nearly two million people from across the Gaza Strip. The vast majority of those displaced were forced to the densely populated southern city of Rafah, near the Egyptian border. It was the largest mass exodus from Palestine since the Nakba of 1948.

As the war progressed, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians began to move from the south to central Gaza in search of safety.
