Israel’s opposition leader Yair Lapid has issued more blistering criticism of PM Netanyahu, saying he is inflicting “unimaginable” damage on the country and has lost the faith of the security establishment.

• “The damage that Netanyahu inflicts on Israel is unimaginable and it will take us many years to repair it,” Lapid said in comments carried by Israel’s Maariv newspaper.

“When he’s gone, there won’t even be a fountain named after him, let alone a street or a cultural hall,” Lapid said. “He will only be remembered for October 7.”

Lapid predicted that Netanyahu’s government would soon fall and elections would be called in 2024.

He says he has no personal desire to see Netanyahu behind bars but opposes Netanyahu receiving any pardon.
