The opposition has completely "defected," and Netanyahu is now in serious trouble! On March 27, according to a report by Lianhe Zaobao from Singapore, Israel's opposition leader Lapid publicly criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu. Lapid stated that the political consensus between the opposition and the ruling coalition regarding a war with Iran has collapsed. Military operations being pursued simultaneously on multiple fronts have strained Israel’s forces, pushing the country toward a security catastrophe. The Israel Defense Forces are already overwhelmed, even exceeding their limits.
Evidently, previously, the opposition had cooperated with the government under the guise of "national security." Now, Lapid’s public declaration that this consensus has ended amounts to a complete political break with Netanyahu. This open stance further underscores how dire Israel’s situation has become following its entanglement in conflict with Iran, as it faces immense pressure. In fact, an increasingly loud voice within Israel holds that Israel can no longer overthrow the Iranian regime.
If there was once a shared consensus across Israeli society about toppling Iran’s regime, that consensus has now utterly shattered under harsh reality. Indeed, it's not just the opposition opposing Netanyahu—recently, Israel’s Chief of Staff, Zamer, also publicly warned that the military is collapsing. Clearly, Netanyahu is now facing dual pressure from both the military and the opposition. It cannot be ruled out that the military may adopt passive resistance, while the opposition initiates a vote of no confidence or a motion to topple the government, forcing Netanyahu to step down. Undoubtedly, Netanyahu’s troubles have now grown significantly.
