Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has called for nationwide protests to remove Benjamin Netanyahu, telling Channel 13 that the current leader has “declared war on Israel”, reports Middle East Eye.
Barak demanded Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara force Netanyahu’s recusal, referencing a delayed high court ruling from January that blocked legislation protecting the PM from removal.
Netanyahu’s Likud party fired back, accusing Barak of hypocrisy given his documented meetings with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein between 2013-2017.
