Sa’ar, Lapid blast events at cabinet: ‘A reminder of need to replace leadership’

New Hope party chief Gideon Sa’ar tweets: “The saga surrounding the (lack of) appointment of a justice minister, which just came to a head in a bizarre cabinet meeting, is further testament to the urgent need to replace the leadership.”

Opposition leader Yair Lapid says: “Anyone who thought even for a moment to make a deal with Netanyahu has just received a reminder that there is no chance he’ll live up to his end of the deal.

“The supreme disdain for the rule of law, for any agreement he’s made, the lies as a way of life — all of these exploded today surrounding the appointment of a justice minister. He just can’t not cheat.”
