Israeli opposition politicians have criticized the government of Benjamin Netanyahu for contributing to Israel's global diplomatic isolation following the United Kingdom's imposition of sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Former Prime Minister Yair Lapid expressed his disapproval of the British decision, but directed his main accusation at Netanyahu's administration, alleging it was driving Israel into unprecedented diplomatic isolation with its constant rebukes and threats.
The opposition contends that the government is failing to take any serious action. Left-wing Democrat Knesset member Gilad Kariv echoed similar sentiments, blaming Israel's far-right government for the sanctions and accusing Netanyahu of becoming politically isolated on the world stage, describing him as "leprous" in its global perception.
