Responding to Netanyahu’s letter, Lapid calls for his resignation
Opposition leader Yair Lapid responds to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s letter, in which the premier accused opposition politicians of undermining the government’s efforts to contain the coronavirus.
“You failed miserably in dealing with the crisis, both health-wise and economically. Your dangerous, arrogant, and irresponsible statements, and those of your close associates, as well as the failure to make decisions, has led to over 1,000 deaths from the coronavirus,” writes Lapid.
Lapid writes that he expects Netanyahu to “take responsibility, admit your failure, and resign.”
