Opposition leader Yair Lapid accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of "fear-mongering" after Netanyahu warned of possible attacks during next month's general election, Al Jazeera English reported. Lapid rejected the warning as a political tactic ahead of the vote.
Netanyahu's alert cited security concerns during the campaign period, but Lapid characterized the statement as an attempt to influence voters through alarm rather than address substantive policy differences.
