Eshkol Nevo, in an opinion column on ynet, argues that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, once dubbed 'Mr. Security', has failed miserably as a military leader and statesman since October 7, 2023. Nevo opens with a personal anecdote about a friend who bought a gun out of fear, noting that in a normal country citizens should not have to defend themselves. He accuses Netanyahu of ignoring warnings before the attack, failing to save civilians during it, and promoting an exemption from military service for Haredim during a severe manpower shortage in the IDF. Nevo claims that Hamas still controls Gaza, Hezbollah threatens from Lebanon, and Iran has moved closer to a nuclear bomb under Netanyahu's watch. He also attacks National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, calling him a convicted criminal. The column ends with a call to replace the government in the upcoming elections, noting that a solid security alternative exists, without naming names.
