“This was a fatal mistake… Israel must stand next to Ukraine. We must always clearly and indisputably distinguish who is in the camp of good and who is on the side of the forces of evil.
If Russia attacks Ukraine, it means Russia is in the evil camp, and Ukraine is on the right side. We had to stand next to Ukraine … for various reasons, even based on moral principles alone. Over time, this thesis of mine was confirmed.
Israel has lost its moral core and it was Netanyahu who led the country to this loss.
And Nehanyahu supported the axis of evil, he basically supported Russia, which now provides almost the greatest support to Iran. And Russia is not just a supporter, today an Iranian-Russian alliance has been formed, working in both directions – after all, it is not only Putin who gives weapons to Iran, and the Iranians supply weapons to the Russians.
This has never happened before, but it became possible thanks to Netanyahu’s biased assessment of Russia and what the Russians are looking for in our region in general.
This was a fatal mistake.”
Emil Shleimovich, editor-in-chief of Details, Let's figure it out program:
“Hello. Should the same people who slept through the Hamas attack and allowed the massacre to take place be trusted to lead the war? Are politicians whose past ideas have been proven wrong in the bloodiest of ways good now? And should those who refuse to fulfill their civic duties have rights?
My interlocutor was the chairman of the Democrats party, General Yair Golan.”
Yair Golan: biography
Yair Golan, 61, was born and raised in Rishon LeZion and currently lives in Rosh HaAyin. He was drafted into the army in 1980. As a young officer in the paratroopers, he stood out as an outstanding commander. In 1997, while commanding the Eastern Brigade on the border with Lebanon, he was wounded in a battle with Hezbollah. Despite his serious injury, he continued to lead the battle.
In 2000, Golan was appointed commander of the Nahal Infantry Brigade. He was one of the leaders of the first military operations in the West Bank during the Intifada and played a major role in the IDF's recapture of cities during Operation Defensive Shield.
In 2004, in the midst of a major General Staff exercise, he warned Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon that the IDF's operational plan to counter Hezbollah was not serious because insufficient forces had been allocated to implement it. He claimed that the plan was not realistic. On the eve of the Second Lebanon War in 2006, he repeated this opinion to the next Chief of Staff, Dan Halutz. Golan repeatedly angered the IDF brass with his excessive independence.
During Golan's tenure as head of the Home Front Command (2008-2011), Netanyahu came to know him well and was impressed by his character and intellectual abilities. Netanyahu even considered appointing Golan as IDF Chief of Staff instead of the long-serving generals, but Ya'alon, then Defense Minister, chose to appoint Gadi Eisenkot.
In 2014, Golan became deputy chief of staff of the IDF, but two years later he gave his famous speech warning of trends in Israel reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s, and the prospect of heading the staff was closed to him.
After leaving the army, he began a tortuous political path that ended in the Meretz party. When he announced in 2022 that he would run for the party's leadership, he encountered fierce resistance from within it. In the end, Golan lost the primaries. Meretz was led by Zehava Galon. The party failed to enter the Knesset in the November 1 elections.
