New York – Former Israeli consul to New York, Alon Pinkas, on Saturday evening, criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s lack of respect for the American president, holding him responsible for “the biggest catastrophe in the country’s history.”
Pinkas said in a demonstration that took place on Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv, demanding Netanyahu’s dismissal: “There is one person responsible for the most horrific day in the history of Israel. “He is responsible for the biggest catastrophe in the history of Israel.”
He added: “One man does not respect the kidnappers, does not respect the IDF, and does not respect the President of the United States, and he confronts the world. “He is the same person who today is only concerned with making sure that the ultra-Orthodox evade the equal burden.”
Tens of thousands of Israelis went out on Saturday evening in protest demonstrations in a number of areas of Israel, demanding the conclusion of an immediate exchange deal. They also closed several vital streets in Tel Aviv.
Amos Malka, the former head of the Military Intelligence Directorate of the Israeli army, also accused Netanyahu of abandoning prisoners held by the faction movement in Gaza.
Malka said: “If the families knew how small the gap that Netanyahu refuses to fill in the negotiations with the factional movement, they would have exploded.” This is further evidence of his unfitness to serve.”
The protest taking place on Saturday night is one of several marches in recent weeks, and one of the demonstrators, a local resident of Caesarea named Hanna Zissel, told The Times of Israel: “They (the protests) are aimed at increasing pressure on him until he goes to new elections.”
