The prime minister’s Likud party slaps back at Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, after he demanded an 18-month legislative freeze as a precondition to rejoining judicial reform compromise talks.
“Yair Lapid is ready to talk with Abu Mazen” — a nickname for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas — “without preconditions, but for Likud he is setting a list of preconditions for talks,” the party says in a statement.
“We invite Lapid to enter into negotiations today so that we can all reach a broad agreement,” it continues.
