Israel’s newly resigned defense minister said Thursday he will challenge Benjamin Netanyahu in the country’s next election, accusing the Israeli prime minister of scaring the public with exaggerated security threats and allowing a “radical minority” to take over the government.

“What I am truly worried about are not the weapon trucks traveling from Syria to Lebanon, nor Iran’s attempts to terrorize us. Israel can handle these threats,” Yaalon added. “What I am worried about are the cracks in Israeli society, and the breaking down of fundamental values.”
