Yair Lapid, the Opposition leader, launched a fierce critique of the current administration following Moody's international credit rating agency's decision to downgrade Israel's credit score.
"The credit rating downgrade is yet another testament to the fact that this government is dysfunctional and causing harm to the public," stated Lapid.
"For more than a year, this administration has shown disregard for economic growth, introduced a reckless and irresponsible budget, and amid war, not one of the 38 ministers is advocating for the Israeli economy.
The State of Israel is in dire need of a new and competent government," he added.
An apparent drone attack - claimed by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia - hit central Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday, killing one man and slightly wounding four others, the Israeli military and emergency services said.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told his U.S. counterpart that military operations in the Gaza Strip have created conditions that would enable a hostage deal to be reached, Gallant's office said on Wednesday.
A meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the Middle East was briefly interrupted on Wednesday when two protesters stood with signs and yelled for the release of Israeli hostages held by Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
