Israeli opposition leader Yair Golan called the governing coalition of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “zero government” that is dragging the country to an “endless war”, Anadolu reports.

At least nine people were injured after a ballistic missile from Yemen landed near Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv.

In a statement on X, Golan, who heads the Labor Party, called on the Israelis to stage daily protests against the Israeli government.

“Only continuous popular pressure will bring down this government,” he added. The opposition leader said Sunday’s missile attack was a “reminder of the right-wing government’s ongoing failure.”
