The chairman of the Democrats party Yair Golan attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the beginning of his faction meeting, claiming that "throughout the war, Netanyahu refused to advance a political plan. He sent our fighters into the fire without a move that would translate the tremendous military achievements into a decisive victory." According to him, "because of Netanyahu's failed government, the countries that hosted, nurtured and funded Hamas are expected to enter Gaza again. And the money that funded the massacre will flow again to the Strip straight into the hands of Hamas killers."
