Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak responded to Netanyahu's speech: "The national instigator in action. Everyone is guilty except him. In a wild fit of a coup d'état, Netanyahu, within 100 days, reduced the security situation, the economy, the relations with the US to an unprecedented low and destroyed the unity of the people and the army. The man is clearly incompetent. He deserves to be removed from power. Better sooner than later."
