## Key points

- Israeli opposition leaders renewed calls to replace Netanyahu.
- They warned his leadership could weaken ties with the US.
- The article links election concerns to US support and the Iran war.

## Summary

Israeli opposition figures said the Democratic Party’s reported landslide US election victory had strengthened the case for removing Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister. They argued that his leadership risks damaging Israel’s security, democratic standing and relationship with the United States, and ruled out forming a unity government with him.

Yair Lapid said Netanyahu’s continued tenure endangers Israel, while Yair Golan warned it could bring international isolation and sanctions. Israeli journalists and former foreign minister Tzipi Livni also raised concerns about US support, including military aid; the article says Donald Trump acknowledged that the US-Israel war on Iran had contributed to his party’s defeat.
