Israel’s opposition says military forces are ‘in collapse’

Yair Lapid, Israel's opposition leader, has accused the government of allowing the military to fall into collapse. Lapid's criticism reflects deep political divisions over how the government is managing the Israeli military amid ongoing regional tensions. The charge of military degradation is a serious political accusation that strikes at national security, a core issue in Israeli politics. Lapid leads the Yesh Atid party and has been a frequent critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's administration. The statement underscores the intensity of Israel's domestic political debate over military readiness and government competence.
