A major Israeli Defense Forces raid against Palestinian terrorists provided a rare point of concord between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his domestic opponents, following months of turmoil over a proposed overhaul of Israel's judiciary.
"Our children are being slaughtered, and Israel has every right on earth to defend itself, and we from the opposition support the Israeli defense forces and the Israeli government on this matter,” Israeli opposition leader and former foreign minister Yair Lapid said Monday, after invoking “the 28 Israelis who were killed in the last few months in terror attacks, including three sets of brothers and sisters.
“Netanyahu is clearly struggling with the political environment that he has forged or inherited, depending on your view,” Foundation for Defense of Democracies senior vice president Jonathan Schanzer told the Washington Examiner. His bona fides come from being a security hawk that has kept Israel out of quagmires.
Yet the number of Israeli lawmakers at the embassy was smaller than expected, because official business required their presence at the Knesset — not for anything to do with the ongoing military operation. "This government gives us, every week, a reason to leave the house ,” protester Matan Lulian told Ynetnews on Monday. “We don't let them pass anything they want, and that's how it will continue. This is the way to do it.”
