Speaking with the press at the site of an Iranian strike in Tel Aviv, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says the missile attack highlights “the exact difference between us and our enemies.”
“Israel has been attacking nuclear sites, attacking ballistic missiles, has been attacking launchers. They’re attacking civilians, women and children, because this is what this regime is,” he says in English.
“I congratulate from here President Trump and the brave American army for being part of a historical change,” he continues, asserting that since last night’s American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities the world has become a “safer place.”
