Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has dismissed allegations of incitement against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying every soldier fighting in Gaza is more threatened than him.

Lapid expressed his views in a post on the social media platform X, referring to a cabinet meeting held on Sunday, Anadolu reported. 

“Two hours of discussion in the government about the incitement against him. There is no two-hour discussion about the 101 victims of Kibbutz Bari. There is no two-hour discussion on the opening of the school year in the north on Sept. 1,” Lapid said with disbelief. 

“Just the incitement against him is worth two hours of discussion? Is that the only thing that matters?” he questioned. 

Criticizing the Israeli premier, Lapid said, “Netanyahu is not a victim, he is a crybaby and a coward. Every soldier in Gaza is more threatened than he is.” 

The opposition leader accused Netanyahu of setting up the “poison machine” and “incitement machine” that are slowly taking over all the media in Israel, “complaining that they are inciting against him.”
