Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak harshly attacked current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saturday evening, asserting that he “lies like he breathes.”
He added, “Netanyahu no longer cares about state security, but only about his personal security and political survival.”
In new statements, Barak accused Netanyahu of waging a “futile war” aimed at evading his trial on corruption charges and the conscription law crisis related to exemptions of ultra-Orthodox Israelis. He added, “Netanyahu misled US President Donald Trump and his associates, convincing them that Israel has only two options: Either submit to Hamas or continue fighting until the last of its fighters are eliminated.”
Barak asserted that “Trump understands nothing about military matters and is completely dependent on Netanyahu,” noting that the latter “succeeded in obtaining American approval to continue this futile war.”
Barak believed that continuing the war serves Hamas’s interests, saying, “Israel will sink deeper into the Gaza quagmire and will not be able to eliminate the movement this way.”
“We may disagree with some previous leaders, but they were neither cowards nor liars. Today we live under a leadership that has completely lost its compass,” Barak concluded.
