Strike, demonstrate, shut down the country, says Israeli politician on ending Gaza war
"This is a step that requires the IDF to take a political stance, and we should save that for something very extreme," Golan, former IDF deputy chief of staff, told protesters with the Standing Together movement, outside his home.
"I don't think we're far from there, but before that, we must make a supreme effort to end this struggle in the political arena and in the public arena. Meaning, take to the streets, shut down the country, exercise the civilian powers we have, and make more assertive use of our right to strike and demonstrate."
