“A Sane Country Does Not Kill Babies”: Israeli Opposition Leader Condemns Gaza Assault

HeadlineMay 21, 2025

The head of the opposition Israel Democratic Party, Yair Golan, condemned the Netanyahu government’s siege of Gaza during an interview with Israeli public radio Tuesday.

Yair Golan: “Israel is on its way to becoming a pariah state among nations, like South Africa was, if we don’t return to acting like a sane country. And a sane country does not wage war against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not give itself the aim of expelling populations.”
