Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid of the Yesh Atid Party accused his rival of weakening the Jewish state’s democracy while visiting Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.
Lapid met with Amos Hochstein, special presidential coordinator for global infrastructure and energy security, and Brett McGurk, who serves as national security council coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa.
After the meeting’s conclusion, Lapid said: “Strong democracies do not jeopardize their security interests in order to solve political problems.”
Lapid also plans to meet with members of Congress.

The State of Israel is Zionist, not Jewish. Please stop referring to it as “Jewish” even though you’re just copying from the wire services.
This man should be arrested upon his return to Israel for treason. It is incomprehensible that he needs to travel abroad to launch his contemptuous attack. This is not athe actions of a productive man. This is treason.
