"When it comes to security, there is no distinction between government and opposition in Israel. We will stand united against the enemy":
said Yair Lapid, leader of the main opposition party Yesh Atid.
He analogizes the position of former defense minister Benny Gantz, leader of the National Union party.
"That Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran are not mistaken: in the face of danger there is no coalition and opposition here. We will give full support - he said - to any responsible and determined operation" ordered by Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu.
Gantz also asked Netanyahu to confirm Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, "whose presence is essential today."
Ten days ago Netanyahu announced his dismissal, only to then take a break for reflection after a huge wave of protests in the streets.
Lapid blamed part of the responsibility for the current crisis on Netanyahu himself: "
Today we are about to find ourselves embroiled in a conflict on four fronts: on the northern border, around Gaza, in the West Bank and in Jerusalem.
The extremist and irresponsible behavior of the current government has done - according to Lapid - serious damage to our deterrent".
