Who are Israel's opposition?

Israel has a vibrant multi-party political system, and opposition lawmakers frequently challenge the government. The criticism from an Israeli opposition lawmaker regarding Netanyahu's comments shows internal disagreement and accountability within Israeli politics. This highlights that not all Israeli politicians share the same views or diplomatic approaches, even on sensitive international matters.
