Israeli opposition leader calls security cabinet plan for Gaza a "disaster"

The leader of the opposition in Israel has called the security cabinet's decision to take control of Gaza City "a disaster" that will "lead to many other disasters."

Yair Lapid says that taking Gaza City would lead to the deaths of the remaining hostages and the killing of many Israeli soldiers.

The plan is "completely contrary to the opinion of the military and security ranks," he adds.

As previously reported, the army chief of staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, had warned against this action.

He accuses Netanyahu of succumbing to pressure from far-right security cabinet ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.
