Likud on anti-Netanyahu protests: When will a vaccine be found for ‘just not Bibi?’

Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party denounces the months-long protests against the premier, as demonstrators rally against him at sites across the country.

“After Prime Minister Netanyahu brought three peace deals, millions of [coronavirus] vaccines and is maintaining Israel’s high credit rating with the backing of the majority of the citizens of the State of Israel, it’s unfortunate the opposition led by Yair Lapid continues to divide and incite without pause,” Likud says in a statement.

“Apparently a vaccine will be found for the coronavirus. The question is when a vaccine will be found for ‘just not Bibi?'” the party adds, using Netanyahu’s nickname.

Netanyahu and his political allies have frequently lashed out at the protesters, who are calling for the prime minister to resign over his indictment on corruption charges.
