Netanyahu erred in handling of Iran’s nukes, says Lapid

Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid says at the opening of the party’s faction meeting this morning that the Iranian nuclear agreement is “bad and problematic.”

IAEA inspectors can’t even enter Iranian nuclear facilities without accompaniment, Lapid says. “This is not inspection, this is a joke,” he says.

Lapid declares that he and his colleagues will join the efforts against the deal. “There is no opposition and coalition on this,” he says.

Lapid says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should resign, since “because of the way he ran this, over the last year, the door of the White House was closed to him, half of Congress doesn’t speak to him.”
