Netanyahu: Lapid left Israel in ruins, tells him to ‘go home’

Responding to outgoing prime minister Yair Lapid’s speech warning against his future government, Likud chief Benjamin Netanyahu paints a dystopian view of the country that he is taking over.

“Lapid, who has left a ruined country in economic and diplomatic collapse, with Iran galloping toward nuclear [capabilities] without any response, with murder and violence rampant, preaches to the next government with baseless inventions,” he says in a statement.

“You lost the election,” he adds. “Go home.”
