Israeli Writer: Removing Netanyahu Key to Ending Ongoing Israeli war
In a column for Haaretz, writer and poet Eyal Megged expressed his belief that removing Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister could bring an end to the ongoing conflict involving Israel.
Megged, a former friend of Netanyahu, expressed deep shame over the Prime Minister’s perceived lack of shame, describing him as a “tyrant.”
According to Megged, Netanyahu is willing to pay any price at the expense of the Israeli public to maintain his rule, which unfortunately means there is little hope for an end to the war in the near future.
“Neither voluntarily nor according to logic. Its continuation forever is the only barrier that will prevent his personal catastrophe.
“The war will end only with the overthrow of Netanyahu, those who are mistaken in the illusion that it is possible to wait for the wheels of democracy in their slow journey towards the change of power – especially those who still adhere to Netanyahu – better disillusion themselves.
“Time and again we witness decisions made not for our benefit, but for Netanyahu’s personal benefit in his eyes. But the rate of destruction is fast and predatory, and if we still want our state, we must speed up the move that will prevent this destruction.”
Israel is currently involved in a face-off with Iran following an attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, on April 1.
Aggrieved, Iran had shot over 300 drones and missiles at Israel but were intercepted.
However, multiple blasts were heard in the central province of Isfahan, Iran, last Thursday night as Israeli missiles reportedly hit the country.
Despite claims linking Israel to the attack, the Israeli military is yet to claim responsibility for the attack.
