Yamina leader Naftali Bennett condemns the Netanyahu-led government’s handling of the pandemic.
He says the government “turned the startup nation into the nation of fights.”
“Israel is number one — in elections,” he says mockingly.
Bennett, who is seeking the premiership, also takes aim at opposition leader Lapid.
“There is a common denominator between Netanyahu and Lapid: Both of them deal with politics, night and day. Both of them spread hate — hate of Haredim, hate of Arabs, hate of settlers.”
“Left wingers love Israel, too, even if we are divided,” he says.
“Lapid and Netanyahu — both of you have failed, big time. Today, either the government falls apart, or Israel will.”
