"Netanyahu, a Legal PM But a Totally Illegitimate One" Says Former Israeli PM Barak | Firstpost POV

In an exclusive conversation with Firstpost Managing Editor Palki Sharma, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak said that the Israeli government is making a strategic mistake by going forward with Rafah offensive instead of working towards release of its hostages. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ruled out ceasefire in Gaza and the Israeli Defense Forces have asked 100,000 civilians to evacuate Rafah ahead of its military operation.

Former Israeli PM Barak emphasised on how Netanyahu has lost the trust of the people. He claimed 4 out of 5 adults in Israel consider Netanyahu to be majorly responsible for the October 7 attack - and 3 out of 4 people believe that he must resign. Former PM Barak highlighted that there's a compelling need for urgent elections. He also slammed Netanyahu over his handling of Gaza war, saying that he might be "a legal prime minister but a totally illegitimate one". Watch this video to know more.
