Lapid: Netanyahu risked US-Israel relationship, only new government can fix damage
Opposition leader Yair Lapid responds to Netanyahu’s speech.
“Netanyahu’s attempt to claim that he upheld good relationships with the Democrats is embarrassing,” he tweets. “His disconnect from what happened in the past few years in the US is so great that he doesn’t even know what the Democrats and new administration are saying about the man who established ‘Trump Heights’ during a tumultuous campaign in the US.”
That’s a reference to a Golan Heights community named for Trump over his recognition of Israel’s sovereignty in the territory.
“Netanyahu took an uncalculated gamble and risked the special relationship between Israel and the US. Only a new government can fix it,” says Lapid.
