Netanyahu hits back at Lapid over 'untrue accusations'

Netanyahu hits back at Yesh Atid party chairman Lapid for implicating him in the possible corruption and bribery case involving multi-billion shekel naval deals with German shipbuilding company during an interview with Channel 2.

“Lapid’s firmness in the media are making sure to pump out the untrue accusations regarding Bezeq and the submarines, despite there being no connection to the prime minister, who is not suspected of wrongdoing,” Netanyahu says in response.

Lapid earlier called the so-called submarine affair “the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the country,” and said he didn’t know how Netanyahu didn’t know about the scheme.
