Ofer Shelah attacks the Defense Minister and the IDF: "A terrible disaster"

Ofer Shelah harshly criticized the conduct of the IDF and the political echelon during the events in Kossara, warning of the consequences of continuing the war on Israel's status and the army. He claimed that the IDF did not act for six days in an area where it is sovereign, and that ahead of the elections, politicians prefer to tell themselves a lie rather than give real answers.

Ofer Shelah, a former Knesset member, harshly criticized the conduct of the IDF and the political echelon during the events in Kossara. He claimed that the IDF, as sovereign in the area, did not act for six days against the rampage, and only afterward agreed to transfer the handling to the police. Shelah linked the failure to a general lack of discipline in the army, and warned of the consequences of continuing the war on Israel's status and the army. He added that in an election campaign, politicians prefer to tell themselves a lie rather than give real answers, and that the public plugs its ears and closes its eyes.
