Lapid condemns settler riot, claims some in government back such acts
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOpposition Leader Yair Lapid slams the settler riot in the West Bank’s Jit as “a terrible moral low,” after a Palestinian was killed — unknown by whom — and homes and cars were torched by a masked mob that was then removed by security forces, with no reports of arrests.
Lapid claims that some government members are giving backing to such incidents, predicting that if that doesn’t change, “this will only get worse.”
“This has nothing to do with Judaism,” he says.
