❗️Opposition leader Yair Golan warns Netanyahu is driving Israel into international isolation and sanctions The leader of Israel's Democrats party, Yair Golan, says that the sweeping Democratic victory in the US midterm elections highlights how destructive Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has become to Israeli interests across the US political spectrum. Writing on social media, Golan warned that the continued rule of Netanyahu alongside National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir risks pushing Israel toward complete international isolation, severe foreign sanctions, and an unprecedented rupture in relations with Washington. "Either Netanyahu’s Israel – a ‘Super-Sparta’ that is boycotted, regressive, and isolated – or a strong, progressive, free, and secure Israel. Netanyahu has lost the election. He is a danger to Israel," Golan wrote, asserting that the US midterm outcome delivered a direct domestic and international rejection of Netanyahu's governance. Golan’s Democrats party forms part of the main four-party Jewish opposition alliance that secured 48 seats in last week’s general election, trailing Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc at 53 seats, while Arab-led parties achieved a historic 19 seats. The remarks came as Israel’s Central Elections Committee officially certified the 27 October election results after rejecting Netanyahu’s claims of voter fraud, clearing the way for President Isaac Herzog to initiate coalition formation consultations with party leaders.
