Opposition leader Yair Lapid sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the ceasefire agreement in the war with Iran. According to Lapid, "There has been no political disaster like this in our entire history. Israel was not even at the table when decisions were made regarding the core of our national security." He added: "The military carried out everything that was asked of it, the public showed incredible resilience, but Netanyahu failed politically, strategically and did not meet any of the goals he himself set. It will take us years to repair the political and strategic damage that Netanyahu has caused."
