Lapid made a speech last month to Israel’s parliament, which is called the Knesset, that marked 600 days since the start of the war in Gaza. Lapid slammed Netanyahu for bringing a conflict upon Israel that didn’t exist during his own brief time in office.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested that targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and overthrowing his government could be a way to end the war that erupted when Israel launched airstrikes at the Islamic Republic last week.

Since Israel began its concerted attack on Iran on Friday, calls for regime change in Iran have grown louder – from hawks in the US Congress to Israeli officials and some Iranian activists abroad.
