Israeli lawmakers from across the political spectrum slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as President Donald Trump declared a ceasefire in Lebanon.

Far-right Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, a key member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition, said it was time to “remove the constraints on our fighters” and intensify attacks on Hezbollah.

“Now is the time to tell our friend, President Trump, ‘No’,” Ben Gvir said in a statement on social media on Monday.

Avigdor Liberman, a right-wing opposition lawmaker who previously served as Netanyahu’s defense minister, said, it was “unacceptable” that Israel had not struck Beirut. “Soldiers are wounded, killed, and Israel’s prime minister is waiting for approval from Trump before bombing Dahieh,” Liberman said referring to a predominantly Shia Muslim suburb in the south of Beirut.

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett described the situation in Israel as a “government that has lost control of Israeli sovereignty.”
