Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak spoke at a protest rally against the government in Tel Aviv, stating that 'U.S. President Donald Trump's regional tour represents a severe diplomatic defeat for Netanyahu, along with significant potential damage to Israel.' Barak added: 'Netanyahu has led Israel to the edge of the abyss. This is the man who abandons the hostages for the messianics, and sacrifices reservists for draft dodgers. He is reckless in all his conduct, financing his associates' relatives, those who funded the October 7 massacre.'
