Responding to Netanyahu’s plenum speech, opposition leader Yair Lapid reiterates his call for the coalition to shelve its proposals to overhaul the judiciary.
“If the unity of the nation is important to you, stop, and everything will balance out,” Lapid tells the Knesset. “If you do your job as the government, there will be unity in the nation.”
“We’ll continue to argue, I’ll continue to think that this government is horrifying and a failure, but it will be a fight about issues that are really important to Israeli citizens, about economics and security,” he adds.
