Israel’s main opposition leader, Yair Lapid, today sharply criticised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the United States and Iran announced a two-week ceasefire late on Tuesday night.
The United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire in an 11th-hour bid to avert all-out destruction of Iran threatened by US President Donald Trump. Israel said it supported Trump’s decision to suspend his bombing of Iran, but maintained the ceasefire “does not include Lebanon”.
Lapid called it a “political disaster,” saying that Netanyahu wasn’t even “at the table” when decisions were made for Israel. He also accused Netanyahu of failing to achieve the war’s objectives.
‘Political disaster’: Yair Lapid
In a post on X, Lapid said, “There has never been such a political disaster in all of our history. Israel wasn’t even at the table when decisions were made concerning the core of our national security.”
He added, “The military carried out everything that was asked of it, the public demonstrated amazing resilience, but Netanyahu failed politically, failed strategically, and didn’t meet a single one of the goals that he himself set.”
The Israeli opposition leader also claimed that it will take the country “years to repair the political and strategic damage that Netanyahu wrought due to arrogance, negligence, and a lack of strategic planning.”
What were Israel’s war objectives?
The central goal of the war for Israel was the elimination or at least severe degradation of Iran’s nuclear programme, which Netanyahu had described as an “existential threat” to his country.
He has also called for neutralising Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities, weakening or potentially toppling the Iranian regime, and curbing Tehran’s regional influence by targeting its network of allied groups.
According to the Associated Press (AP), citing a source, there are concerns in Israel about the agreement. The person said Israel would like to achieve more.
Israel follows up on ‘not Lebanon’
After Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif brokered the ceasefire between the US and Iran, and claimed that the agreement included a cessation of Israel’s campaign in Lebanon, Netanyahu said the ceasefire “does not apply to Lebanon”.
Soon after, Israel’s military issued repeated urgent warnings to residents of Lebanon’s Tyre to evacuate their homes immediately and move north of the Zahrani River, saying it would strike the area.
However, Reuters, citing Lebanese sources, said Hezbollah halted fire on northern Israel and on Israeli troops in Lebanon as part of the ceasefire.
Hezbollah is soon expected to issue a statement outlining its formal position on the ceasefire and on Netanyahu’s assertion that Lebanon is not included, the sources told Reuters.
Airstrikes on UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel
Missile alerts were issued in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait after the ceasefire announcement. A gas processing facility in Abu Dhabi was ablaze after an incoming Iranian fire, officials said.
Earlier Tuesday, the Israeli military said it attacked an Iranian petrochemical site in Shiraz, the second day in a row it hit such a facility. The military later said it struck bridges used by Iranian forces to transport weapons and military equipment.
Like the US, Israel has two faces and a forked tongue. In Israel when it comes to the war season and blatantly commit horrendous crimes against humanity, and steal more territories, it puts on a the face of a ruthless Zionist to lead the nation, but always makes sure it has a more pleasant face to present to the world, pretending to have a significant following in the nation. When peace strikes again the Knesset is sure to trot out this fellow in the aftermath of their theft, destruction, and murder, and then under secure peace conditions with their neighboring foes the Nakba kibbutzniks quietly take over the abandoned properties of their newly acquired territories, and kick out or kill the remaining “foreign” inhabitants. .
That is presently what they are doing in Lebanon. To Israel the war they started with Iran is mainly a cover to grab more land and expand their borders norward toward Syria and the Euphrates. They need Iran as an enemy to do this, and they need to keep up the theft, slaughter and oppression of all non Jews, and mainly Muslims, in the occupied territories and beyond, in order to agitate Iran into actions to defend their Muslim brothers and sisters. The US is a willing accomplice to their stealth. Secondly if they cannot take out Iran in another major war, getting rid of the only nation which has helped in the resistance to the Israeli crimes, Israel still is able to steal more lands in the flack of its big brother taking the stage in the Greater War Effort. Totally despicable.
As all can see; The Jews are all the same. They are Satanic monsters.

===================================
Good points, Iran war allows the Kikes to encircle one flank of the Greater Israel project. …and their Goyim slave in USA can attack Iran on the other flank and shed even more Yankee blood and Tax$$$ for Satan.
Perhaps Iran is aware of this but playing a cat and mouse game “here kitty kitty” err ” here Kikey Kikey……..as they have given the Kikes enough rope and the psycho Kikes will never stop..ever .
Time for this kosher clusterf*ck to end NOW.
That rabid kike psychopath deserves to get the ever living piss beaten out of him then chained to a cinder block and shoved into a cesspool….which actually applies to a whole bunch of ’em…
