I used to run Israel's security agency now I'm sounding the alarm about our extremist government | Ami Ayalon
Briefly

A group of 18 former top Israeli security officials, including former commanders, have raised alarms about the current Israeli government's threats to democracy and security. They argue that focus on ideological goals has led to the abandonment of hostages in Gaza and the erosion of foundational democratic values. The officials conducted a public advert campaign showcasing their concerns, asserting that there is a significant public consensus for the need to end the conflict and prompt elections for governmental change. Their message emphasizes the importance of engaging allies abroad in this grave situation.
The very fabric of the state of Israel and the values on which it was founded are being eroded, and our hostages have been abandoned.
Our government is undermining the democratic functions of the state to shore up and protect its own power, forcing us into a perpetual war.
