Ya'alon condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, stating that the country is heading toward "occupation, annexation, and ethnic cleansing" while advocating for a two-state solution.
"Now look at the polls. Seventy percent... of the public in the State of Israel advocates a path that is Jewish, democratic, liberal etc., and also with separation," Ya'alon emphasized.
In a heated exchange, Ya'alon defended his claims of ethnic cleansing: "What is happening there? There is no Beit Lahia, there is no Beit Hanoun... cleansing the area of Arabs."
Ya'alon's comments drew condemnation from former colleagues, with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar stating, "The irresponsible comments... are incorrect and slander Israel without a basis."
