Lapid slams opponents on ties with Haredim
Sixteen hours to the elections and it’s knives out all around. Yair Lapid criticizes both PM Netanyahu and prime ministerial hopeful Herzog for making deals with the ultra-Orthodox and avoiding talking about an equal share of the military burden – an issue dear to his party.
On a tour of Netanya, Lapid says that “politics are intended to help people make their lives better, not so that fellas can close dirty deals behind our backs. Both Bibi and Buji [Netanyahu and Herzog] are selling the equal share of the burden, returning budgets to yeshivot and closing deals with the ultra-Orthodox – all at our expense.”
