At Knesset opening, Lapid calls PM a hypocrite
Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid calls the prime minister a liar over his earlier comments about the opposition, during his speech at the opening of the Knesset session.
“How many times can you lie?” Lapid asks.
The Yesh Atid leader, who has earned a reputation as a “shadow foreign minister,” says that the prime minister speaks out against him during the day, but then at night he “sends [his] ministers to me to ask my help with the White House and the administration.”
Lapid’s remarks are in response to a speech by the prime minister, in which he referred to members of the opposition as “sourpusses” — literally, “pickles.”
