Herzog thwarts claims of V15, Labor connection
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsaac Herzog swats away claims by Likud that the V15 campaign is connected to the Zionist Camp.
“I say to the Likud people straight and to the point: We have no connection whatsoever to any organization or to any outside campaign that comes to replace Netanyahu. That is a complete lie.”
The Labor Party leader says the public wants to replace Netanyahu, not just the V15 grassroots group. He criticizes Netanyahu’s use of the word “depose” concerning the organization’s aims.
“In a democracy you don’t depose the government; you replace the prime minister with a better prime minister who is more concerned about the welfare of the public, and isn’t concerned with himself,” Herzog says at a press conference.
