Lapid: Center-left must unite behind us; we're through setting egos aside

Opposition leader Yair Lapid says it’s time for the center-left camp to unite behind his Yesh Atid party, otherwise “Netanyahu will win and the country will fall apart.”

Speaking ahead of his faction’s weekly meeting at the Knesset, Lapid says: “The moment it smells elections, the right wing says one thing: ‘I want to win.’ It sets everything aside, doesn’t whine or complain — it goes for the win. That’s what our camp needs to do now. Stop messing about, unite behind Yesh Atid, and go for the win.

“I hear talk of ‘setting aside our egos.’ I hereby announce: We’re through setting our egos aside. Let others set their egos aside this time.”
