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.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday he had directed Israel's military to take more of Gaza, initially by seizing 70% of the Palestinian territory, where the population is already penned into a tiny strip of land along the coast.
Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, announced Thursday that his country was suspending all relations with Secretary-General António Guterres until the end of his mandate on December 31, 2026.
The EU Council on Thursday imposed sanctions on four entities and three individuals for abuses against Palestinians in West Bank, it said in a statement.
