Lapid says Likud, Blue and White ‘attacking Israel’s democracy’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAt the Knesset, the head of Yesh Atid-Telem, Yair Lapid, concludes the opposition’s case against the changes to Israel’s Basic Laws as part of the Likud-Blue and White coalition deal.
He says the parties are “attacking Israel’s democracy” and “taking apart our shared values.”
He says it is a “lie” that the new government is an emergency government.
“If this was an emergency government we would see a fight over the Health Ministry, Finance Ministry, Economy Ministry, Interior Ministry and Finance Committee,” he says. “All those that are relevant to an economic crisis. All the jobs that no one fought over.”
