Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing strong criticism from the opposition. On Wednesday, Yair Lapid’s party, Yesh Atid, accused Netanyahu of spreading dangerous conspiracy theories and undermining the rule of law.

The controversy began when Netanyahu posted a message on social media, claiming that a so-called “deep state” was using the justice system against him. Yesh Atid responded by saying Netanyahu has “completely lost it” and is in a “state of panic.”

They accused him of damaging Israel’s reputation and acting out of fear that his inner circle is involved in foreign interests.

The opposition party described Netanyahu’s behavior as “dangerous and embarrassing,” arguing that it is not the leadership Israel needs.

This political drama unfolded on the same day that Israel expanded its military operations in Gaza. The government issued a final warning to residents, urging them to help return hostages and remove Hamas from power.
