Lapid accuses PM of ‘hysteria’ with response to UN vote

Yesh Atid leader MK Yair Lapid slams Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his “hysterical” diplomatic response to countries who voted for a newly passed UN Security Council resolution condemning Israel’s settlements.

“What has happened since the Security Council vote is irrational,” Lapid says tells a faction meeting in Jerusalem. “This is not diplomacy, this hysteria.”

He says that by “gambling with [Israel’s] national security,” the prime minister is radiating “stress and confusion.”
