PM says Lapid will have to show ‘Houdini-like abilities’ after flip-flop
Netanyahu derides Yesh Atid party leader Yair Lapid, saying he will have to show “Houdini-like abilities” to escape his current situation after he flip-flopped on the ultra-Orthodox draft law.
After saying he would support the contested law opposed by the Haredi parties, Lapid said earlier today that he will oppose it, citing what he said was a secret deal to compensate the ultra-Orthodox for financial sanctions on those who don’t enlist in the IDF.
