The Labor party has lodged a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following a damning report from a state commission of inquiry linking him directly to the tragic Mount Meron disaster of April 2021. The report, which holds Netanyahu personally accountable for the deaths of 45 individuals in a stampede at the historic gravesite in northern Israel, highlights his alleged negligence despite prior safety alerts.
Labor asserts in a statement that the commission's findings unequivocally attribute responsibility to Netanyahu, accusing him of disregarding numerous warnings and failing to oversee the government's measures regarding the Mount Meron pilgrimage. The party contends that such incompetence renders the current government unfit to lead, advocating for its immediate replacement.
Describing the government as perilous to Israel's well-being, Labor emphasizes the need for accountability, citing not only the Mount Meron tragedy but also referencing another recent disaster on October 7th.
