Chaos, endless elections, the cities of Lod and Acre on fire in the face of a humiliated and conflicted government,” he wrote referring to the clashes between Arabs and Jews. against the backdrop of the war with Gaza.
Israel – he added – has shown “terrible weakness in the face of a murderous enemy who fired rockets on Jerusalem”.
A country trapped “by faith in one man and enslaving the state’s energy to its legal needs,” he added referring to Netanyahu’s judicial woes and his trial. After referring to Netanyahu’s ongoing attempt to pollute Israeli public life (“the poison machine”), Bennett closed the appeal by arguing that if you don’t want to “fall backwards, then we must all act. a call to action “.
