Opposition leader Yair Lapid slams Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly, saying it was all gimmicks and no clear policy.
“The world saw a tired and whining Israeli prime minister today, in a speech too loaded with tired gimmicks,” Lapid posts on X.
“Netanyahu did not present a plan for the return of the hostages, did not present a way to end the war, did not explain why, after two years, Hamas has yet to be defeated,” Lapid says.
“Instead of stopping the political tsunami – Netanyahu today worsened the situation of the State of Israel,” he says.
