Ayman Odeh: Lapid will never take over from Bennett
Joint List head Ayman Odeh suggests that Yair Lapid won’t take over as prime minister from Naftali Bennett in two years, despite the rotation agreement between the two politicians.
“I don’t think this government will make it to the rotation between Bennett and Lapid,” Odeh says to Kan radio. “We’ll bring down this government. We want to change the current situation, and not just to swap [Benjamin] Netanyahu out for Bennett, [Avigdor] Liberman and [Gideon] Sa’ar.”
