Former Israeli PM too calls to oust Netanyahu

Embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came under new attack on Thursday by not once but two of his former ministers, Moshe Ya'alon and Ehud Barak.

After Ya'alon declared he intends to run for office, criticizing the cabinet's use of scare tactics to "divide and rule," Barak called to oust the current cabinet.

"I call upon the government to come to its senses and get back on track," Barak said on Thursday evening in a security conference in at Herzliya.

"If not, all of us, yes, all of us, must get out of our seats and topple it through civil uprising and the ballot box before it's too late."

Barak, a former chief of army and minister of military affairs and prime minister, warned of telltale signs of fascism in the government.

“We are being led by a weak prime minister and a weak government,” Barak concluded.
