Yair Lapid, who styles himself as a shadow foreign minister, makes an impassioned plea for Netanyahu to appoint a full-time foreign minister, saying he will support whoever the prime minister appoints.

“It’s impossible that because of small political considerations the State of Israel doesn’t have a foreign minister. I promise here that even though I am in the opposition I will support whoever will be nominated. There are enough fitting people in your government; pick whoever is best and nominate that person. All of our alliances have taken big hits in the last few years,” he says.

A week ago, Lapid and Liberman mounted a joint attack against Netanyahu, who serves as foreign minister, for mismanaging the country’s foreign policies.
