The leader of the Democratic Party, Yair Golan, gave his first interview on Saturday evening with Channel 12 following a wave of criticism on his recent controversial declarations.
In the interview, Golan sought to clarify his intention, declaring: “Of course, Israel does not kill babies for a hobby. Israel did not commit war crimes in Gaza. My comments were directed against political leadership. The goal of war is the liberation of all hosts in a deceased decision – we have to end the war.
Speaking on the press of Channel 12, Golan underlined the disparity of public responsibility, saying: “I do not remember that (Bezalel) Smotrich or (Itamar) Ben-Gvir while people with words are unacceptable that we return a fight to Gaza while people who have a threat to a threat. As Warg should be carried out against those who threaten a threat. Survive, he cannot preach the murder of civilians. »»
Reply to Katz not wanting Golan in the reserves
Asked about the Directive of the Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, not to call Golan in reserve service, he replied, saying: “Fortunately I did not ask Katz’s permission to put my uniform on October 7.
“That day, we did what should be done, where the Israeli government has completely failed. The Minister of Defense did not have the power to refuse me access to the basics. When I need to enter the bases, I will present my qualifications as general – I suppose that he will let in.
Criticizing Netanyahu
Golan also gave strong criticism of the decision of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to appoint the major-general. David Zini as head of Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), in defiance of the prosecutor General Gali Baharav-Miara.
“Netanyahu ignores the prosecutor general’s recommendation and performs a complete government coup. It is Netanyahu who tries to close the submarine case by means of a specific appointment,” he said.
“Zini is unfit to direct the bet of Tibia,” continued Golan. “He was under my command, he is a decorated officer, but is not suitable for this post. Netanyahu cannot appoint the chief of Shin Bet during an investigation against him. If Netanyahu insists to go against the Attorney General and the High Court, the country must close.”
Addressing his recent drop in Opinion Polls, Golan Said, “I Could Haven the Idf Chief of Staff and Paid A Personal Price. Israel is Spiraling Into Fastist-Style NATIONALISM. Ministers who Slander the State and Whose Statements BECOME WEAPONS IN THE HANDS OF OURMIES-IT’S SHAMEFUL AND Disgraceful.
Golan also reviewed a previous declaration made at the start of the war, when he suggested residents of hungry Gaza. “What was at that time is not just today,” he said. “I thought that at the start of the war, it was necessary to apply much more massive pressure on Hamas.”
He expressed his regrets for an incident in Kiryat Shmona in which he was unleashed in a civilian. “I am not proud of it. I am also human – I feel insulted and disappointed. Internal hatred must disappear from our speech. Netanyahu established a well -oiled poisoned machine – they take each declaration and twist it out of context. ”
Golan concluded with a message to the religious Zionist community: “Even the Zionist religious public must make some confusion.
