Israeli Opposition leader Yair Lapid blasted Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu in an interview with Channel 12 News and described him as “the biggest con man in the history of the country,” Arutz Sheva reports.
In the interview, Lapid commented on Israel’s recent crisis with the United States. “The Americans know what is happening here, and they report every tweet on Twitter down to the minute,” Lapid stressed. “The crisis arose because they know the truth – they know that Israel is treading on a dangerous path that could end up with us not being the only democracy in the Middle East.”
He went on to criticize the conduct of Netanyahu and the government during the crisis, saying, “The Americans say – ‘We have agreed all these years that we will support you because you are a well-run democratic country, if you do not continue to be a well-run democratic country – you will lose our support’. For two months now Israel has not been the closest ally of the United States.”
