"The writing is on the wall and a disaster will be inscribed in the name of this government"
Chair of the Knesset Environment Caucus MK Lahav-Hertzano to Netanyahu: Order preparations for a natural disaster this winter during the coming "Super El Niño"
Assessment
A Knesset committee chair is publicly warning the prime minister about an impending natural disaster linked to a super El Niño winter, framing potential catastrophe as the government's responsibility. The direct appeal suggests either a lack of existing preparedness or a failure to take previous warnings seriously. The political stakes are high: if disaster strikes, the opposition will hold the government accountable for inaction. The coming months will test whether this warning translates into concrete emergency measures.
