Lapid decries PM’s refusal to step down if summoned for a hearing pending indictment

Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid decries Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement that he will not step aside if summoned for a hearing pending indictment.

“Netanyahu saying tonight that he can serve while under indictment is a sign of moral bankruptcy and proof that he has gone off the rails,” Lapid says in a statement.

“The only thing that concerns him is avoiding criminal charges and not the interests of the state.”
