Lapid fires back at Netanyahu: He tried to brag 32 countries to get Pfizer’s vaccine before us

Yair Lapid fires back at Prime Minister Netanyahu after Likud slammed him over the protests against the premier.

“Netanyahu’s criticism of me this evening is meant to divert attention from the embarrassment caused by his press conference. Netanyahu tried to boast that 32 countries proceeded us in ordering Pfizer’s [coronavirus] vaccine and will receive it before us. This is further proof of his complete failure to deal with the virus,” Lapid, who heads the Yesh Atid party, writes on Twitter.

Lapid is referring to a press conference Netanyahu gave Friday to announce Israel signed a deal with Pfizer to purchase the US pharma firm’s COVID-19 vaccine.
