Opposition leaders say PM failed to achieve Iran war goals: ‘When you win, you don’t need to declare it every few days’

Opposition leaders pour scorn on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claims this evening about Israeli success in the recent conflict with Iran, asserting that he failed to achieve the war aims he himself set out.

“Netanyahu is under pressure, because he knows the goals of the war [against Iran] were not achieved,” writes Democrats party leader Yair Golan on X.

“When you are victorious and win, you don’t need to declare every few days that you were victorious and won,” he quips.

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid makes similar comments, stating that “Netanyahu once again is taking pride in the accomplishments of the army, so that we forget his total failure.”

“He did not achieve any of the war aims that he himself defined,” adds Lapid. “The entire people of Israel salutes our security services and is waiting for the moment when we will have leadership that is able to win wars and not steal money from Israeli citizens while they are in bomb shelters.”
