Former Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon spoke at a rally in Rabin Square in favor of ending the war in Gaza and attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "This is a political war of deception, whose supreme goal is the integrity of the coalition and the continued rule of the person ultimately responsible for the October 7 failure. He is the head, he is guilty." Ya'alon added: "He assembled a coalition of messianics, draft dodgers and corrupt individuals to crush the judicial authority. He sacrifices soldiers in a futile and purposeless war of deception, the longest war in our history. He sacrifices hostages from the beginning of the campaign."
