Israeli opposition leader slams minister's comments on Iran attack

Opposition leader Yair Lapid strongly criticised National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, after the hawkish far-right minister called the alleged Israeli attack on Iran "feeble".

"Never before has a minister in the security cabinet done such heavy damage to the country’s security, its image and its international status," Lapid said.

"In an unforgivable one-word tweet, Ben Gvir managed to mock and shame Israel from Tehran to Washington."
