In an interview with the Israeli Army Radio, Yair Lapid has questioned Netanyahu’s decision to mobilise tens of thousands of reservists, Al Jazeera reports.

He said Netanyahu is calling up troops and extending their service without setting a goal for the operation.

Earlier, it was reported that the Israeli military was issuing call-up notices to thousands of reservists to support an “expansion” of its offensive in Gaza.

According to the Israeli media, the reservists will be deployed to Israel’s border with Lebanon and in the occupied West Bank, replacing regular soldiers who will lead a new offensive in Gaza.
