The chairman of the 'Democratic' party is not closed: After welcoming the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in real time - today (Wednesday) Yair Golan attacked the dramatic assassination in an interview with Galei Tzahal - and defined it as a mistake.

""Eliminating Khamenei was a mistake and did not contribute to Israel's security - not everything is solved by military force," he said.

But about 40 days ago, with the outbreak of "Harry's Roar," Golan welcomed the elimination of Khamenei in a post he published on his X account: "The elimination of Khamenei is a dramatic and significant step.

""Israel's security forces, together with American forces, have once again demonstrated intelligence superiority and impressive operational capability. I salute you.".

""Ali Khamenei was the architect of regional terrorism - the one who set the destruction of Israel as a goal, financed and armed terrorist affiliates, and deepened instability in the Middle East.

""On this day, I want to send a message of hope to the Iranian people as well: You have been freed from a cruel dictator who oppressed you for decades, and a real opportunity for freedom and a door to a better future has opened.".
